...Panchen's popularity was doomed to fade. Last month the Communists' military commander in Tibet began lashing out at unnamed "schemers" who were "plotting the restoration of integration of politics and religion." Sure enough, he was talking about the Panchen Lama, on whom so many Communist hopes had been pinned. Last week the Panchen was not only out of his job in the Red Chinese parliament, but had been stripped of his Tibetan chairmanship as well and forced to confess "antipeople, anti-state and anti-socialist activities." To Asian Buddhists, many of whom nurture the illusion that they...
...gross national product over the next six years, Frenchmen will be buying a beefed-up conventional force and a total of 62 needle-nosed Mirage IV bombers to tote the Gaullist bombette at a relatively slow 1,200 m.p.h. over a range of 1 ,000 miles. When the Mirages fade into obsolescence around 1968-69, they will be supplanted by SSBS missiles (the sibilant stands for sol-sol-balistique-strategique, or ground-to-ground-ballistic-strategic), to be lodged in hard-base silos in France. With a range of 1,800 miles, the two-stage SSBS missile will pack...

Implied warranty, explained the judge, only meant that the product must be "reasonably fit and safe for the ordinary purpose for which it was sold." The issue, he continued, was not whether Green died of cigarette-induced cancer; another jury had decided that. This jury was simply to determine whether "a large...
...first place, 1921 was not all that wonderful, and no one can accurately predict the quality of a vintage two months before the harvest. Even then, prognosis is difficult. The highly touted 1959s, for instance, are already beginning to fade, while the rather rough 1957s are just beginning to achieve real quality; the 1934s, downgraded at first, became splendid...
...never saw the vines looking so healthy." No responsible expert would dare say just how great the year will be, though Martin admits "the other great years of Bordeaux were not as amiable at first as 1964." The new vintage is extremely "supple" (low in tannin), therefore may "fade" more quickly than a "harder" wine...
