...West and an end to the Western aid that has so greatly stimulated Pakistan's economy. India, by contrast, is still the big gainer in the war. Shastri had united the nation as never before. Said one Western ambassador last week: "It used to be you could feed the word 'India' into the machine and it would spit out 'Maharajahs, snakes, too many babies, too many cows, spindly-legged Hindus.' Now it's apparent to everybody that India is going to emerge as an Asian power in its own right...

...Hardly anyone denies that the farm program is riddled with inconsistencies, inequities and absurdities. A farmer in Minnesota, who recently rented 300 acres of grassland, simply turned around and put it into the feed grain program's acreage diversion plan, which pays the farmer 62½ for every bushel of corn he does not grow but reasonably might have.

Apart from the problem of translation, the technology of bibliographic control in scientific fields is already a reality. A leader in the field is the National Library of Health in Bethesda, Md., which tries to acquire every publication relating to medicine. Librarians feed selected references from articles in 2,400 periodicals into two Honeywell computers. Then, by the use of key words, the computers each year arrange 150,000 citations alphabetically. This list is printed by a computer-driven phototypesetter, and the result is a book, the Index Medicus, which goes to 7,000 libraries around the world. A researcher...
