...protest the use of the term Wasp as the equivalent of "Americans of the old stock." There is a comparatively small but very proud and loyal group of people in the U.S. whose ancestors were both Catholics and Americans long before the influx of ethnic groups. They include Marylanders, Frenchmen in St. Louis and New Orleans, Castilian Spaniards in the Southwest and certain families in Philadelphia and other coast cities. Mr. Sargent Shriver is the most prominent man of this group at the present time. To refer to him as a "Waspirant" is as insulting as it would have been...
...Bucher and his crew were so horrifying as to stun the world anew last week. To some extent, the techniques consist of old-fashioned torture protracted and refined, in a mixture of mental and physical ordeals.

...Hardy Dwarf. The keys to India's new progress are the wheat and rice strains developed by the Philippine International Rice Research Institute and by the Rockefeller Foundation in Mexico during the past two decades.

The results turned...

To rescue Czechoslovakia from the "edge of hopelessness," he had written, a group of volunteers had decided to burn themselves, one by one, as a protest. Palach made two demands of the government: an end to censorship and the prohibition of the Soviets' occupation newspaper, Zprávy. Considering the finality of his act, they were remarkably modest requests. The note was signed, "Torch...
...sought meetings with government officials to take up Palach's two demands. Some 20,000 persons marched in a candlelight parade through Prague to the dead youth's university building and took up positions in the square fronting it; ironically, it was named Red Army Square. One group climbed up signposts and covered them over with new plaques reading "Jan Palach Square...
