India's faith in the positive powers of neutralism suffered another shock last week. Gathered in Ceylon's capital, Colombo, were six of nonalignment's finest: Ghana, Egypt, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, and Ceylon itself. They had taken it upon themselves to find a solution to India's dispute with Red China over the aggression in the Himalayas. After three days of top-secret sessions, the neutrals solved the problem all right. They will recommend a demilitarized zone along the Himalayan frontier and suggest that neutralist nations be chosen to police the forbidden zone. It was just...
...ironic that Stevenson's performance during the October Cuban crisis should have occasioned last week's controversy. For, to all outward appearances, this was Adlai's finest hour as U.N. Ambassador. Acting on talk-tough instructions telephoned to him by President Kennedy, Stevenson flayed Russia's Valerian Zorin. "Do you, Ambassador Zorin, deny that the U.S.S.R. has placed and is placing medium-and intermediate-range missiles and sites in Cuba?" he demanded. "Yes or no-don't wait for translation-yes or no?"

The key was mailed to President Eisenhower, who ordered secret servicemen to return it to Angeline. Angeline unlocked her chain necklace...
Miss Ware, however, took all Miss Howard's talents, and those of the stunning chorus, in hand, and, in the numerous production numbers of Act II, gave us some of the finest dancing, strutting and teasing I've ever seen in a Drumbeats show--or anywhere else. The wonderful, ridiculous "Hail Bibinski" number which opens Act II, which featured a splendid Kazatzki by Betsy Wilson; the hymn to "Josephine" in which the whole great stage of Rindge Tech seems laden with pink skin; and the annual Twist Party that ends each Drumbeats show--they all left the audience, which seemed...
...obviously difficult to evaluate a student performance. Everyone knows that the finest musical moments take place in rehearsals, and not on concert night. And most of the originality in student performances is what is new only to the students, and not to history. Also, the interpretation of the music cannot but be immature in some ways...
