...entered the village of Me Tri. Following his nose, he discovered that almost every villager was engaged in baking com -a lightly toasted cooky made of unripe, glutinous rice. Me Tri had developed so flourishing an illegal cooky business that the villagers were even buying rice grain from other cooperatives. Red sleuths found that villagers were also slaughtering pigs for private sale, making moonshine from corn, and illegal noodles from rice...
...Galbraith is no less critical of the manner in which massive U.S. technical assistance has been frittered away on reams of unessential, unnoticed projects (sample: building better chicken coops). He has persuaded Washington to concentrate technical aid on three high-priority sectors-industrial management, public health, food grain production-that will help India and boost U.S. prestige. Though U.S. aid (nearly $4 billion in ten years) is the biggest outside boost to India's economy, complains the ambassador, it has become so "anonymous and secretive" that few Indians appreciate...
...sent his tradesmen to cultivate markets wherever they could find them. Canadian sales to Eastern Europe are up 90%, to Latin America 36%, to Asia a muscular 61% (to $312 million). Biggest Asian customer is famine-struck Red China, which has engaged to buy $425.6 million worth of Canadian grain over the next 2½ years.

India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru went, as he piously put it, "contrary to my grain.'' On Nehru's orders, Indian forces invaded the tiny, 451-year-old Portuguese colony of Goa on India's west coast. In a three-pronged attack, crack Sikh and Dogra troops of the Indian army's 17th Division, abetted by gunfire and air force jets, overran Goa and the Portuguese enclaves of Diu and Damao in a naked...
...three party leaders have been more concerned to cultivate grass roots than to shape ringing national issues. In the wheat-growing West, Prairie Lawyer Diefenbaker has made hay by swinging a $362 million grain sale to hard-pressed Red China. By devaluating the Canadian dollar last June, the Tory government has helped spur exports 4.8% and shave Canada's deficit-of-payment imbalance. Unemployment has dropped to 318,000 (4.9% of the labor force). But on the debit side, Diefenbaker has failed to show how his government intends to meet the new challenge of world trade-particularly that posed...
