...blows fell on Formosa, and on Chinese Nationalists everywhere, like hammer strokes. First there were the fall of Yikiang and the obvious threat to the Tachens, then the Dulles statement that the Tachens were not of strategic value and would not be protected by the U.S., then talk of a ceasefire, and the inference -quickly drawn by Asians-that Washington was headed toward neutralization of Formosa...
...north over the Alps to Baden-Baden (pop. 37,000) in the French Zone of Germany.

...lands where the hammer and sickle seek to blot out the cross, a pitiless struggle goes on to render unto the Red Caesars the things that are God's. Last week the spiritual combat zone was East Germany, where Protestant and Roman Catholic clergymen joined in protesting a Soviet-style "family law." Due for enactment by the East zone legislature, the law mirrors the macabre woman who fashioned it, Hilde Benjamin, 52, known as "Red Hilde," "Hanging Hilde," and "the Red Guillotine...
