...faraway New Delhi, India's Prime Minister Nehru was still not ready to support the P.W.s. He suggested that their fate be "considered afresh" by the belligerents if there is no Korean Political Conference before Jan. 22, when P.W.s who do not succumb to explanations are due to go free. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles promptly reassured the P.W.s that they would indeed go free on Jan. 22, as the armistice agreement provides. Indian officers at Panmunjom guessed that Nehru was speaking "for external consumption." The P.W.s themselves trusted Nehru's autonomous agent...
...faraway island there lives a young king with so much money that he doesn't know-quite-what to do. He is Omar Ali Saifuddin, 37, the benevolent Sultan of Brunei. A British protectorate, his small realm (2,226 sq.mi.; pop. 41,000) lies on the northwest coast of Borneo, and its money-about $25 million a year-comes mostly from oil.

A month later, from faraway Zinder came a note from George D. Beacham, which was published in TIME'S Letters column. In his letter, Reader Beacham explained that he was soon to be married to a girl who, like him, is a missionary, that they were fascinated by the description of the new stove...
...city that dreams much of the past, has staged six retrospective exhibitions of her long dead masters since 1935. Having already shown off her greatest-Bellini, Titian and Tintoretto-Venice this summer is doing homage to a lesser genius: Lorenzo Lotto. The city has gathered 121 Lottos from such faraway places as Stockholm and New York, hung them in a 16-room suite of the Doges' Palace. Its high, cool chambers, with coffered ceilings and huge chimney pieces, make almost too grand a setting for Lotto...
