...there was still no progress on the Kashmir problem. Though dear to the hearts of all Pakistanis, it was a crashing bore to the U.N. and the world. Even worse, India was moving fast to end the fiction that there was even anything left to discuss. Nehru had announced in 1954 that Kashmir was an integral part of India but had done nothing to implement his words. Prime Minister Shastri was saying less but doing more. Early this year, he quietly let it be known that Indian civil servants would take over the state administration of Kashmir. To Pakistanis, this...
Effluent Society. New battles flare up as fast as the U.S. grows. Each and every day, the average American disposes of four pounds of trash-a total of 540 million Ibs. throughout the nation. "The 'effluent' society," Justice Douglas calls it.

His 14 strikeouts gave him a total of 332 for the season-just 16 shy of Bob Feller's alltime record. More important, he had become the eighth...
...city hall. Before the festivities are over, there will be fireworks, folk dancing in the plaza, a symphonic rendition of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and a Toronto a go-go with no fewer than six rock 'n' roll bands. Such civic fanfare is unusual even in fast-growing Toronto. But after eight years of waiting and the expenditure of more than $30 million, Torontonians have decided to take their daring new structure to heart...
