In his marathon reply to Noon, stonewalling Krishna Menon tediously led the Security Council through a nine-year maze of military reports, diplomatic exchanges, ministerial conferences, press clippings and gossip. To demonstrate the justice of India's position, he ranged from the status of Texas after the Civil War to Australian constitutional law. Out of it all emerged one clear point: India had no intention of permitting a plebiscite in Kashmir...

...Pulse, Inc. uses the technique of the doorbell-ringing personal interview. Its interviewers, all married women (men might incite neighborhood gossip), visit a cross section of homes in 64 markets.

Royal public relations are handled through a Press Secretariat whose tight-lipped refusal to discuss even a Balmoral barbecue forces newsmen to patch up stories from gossip, invention and half-truth. Important royal events outside the palace, complain reporters, are usually handled by bumbling local officials. Only when newsmen threatened to boycott Princess Margaret's recent African tour in mid-trip was she allowed to make news by mingling with the natives, thus realize the tour...
