With bottomless patience the Taylor panel had been trying all week to cut through the murk of charges and counter-charges and down to the core facts of the strike. But they got little help from either Steelworker President Dave McDonald or Steel Industry Negotiator R. Conrad Cooper. With nearly 90% of the nation's steelmaking capacity idled since mid-July, with layoffs spreading rapidly through the economy as manufacturers shut down for lack of steel (see BUSINESS), McDonald kept spouting purple rhetoric, Cooper kept spouting dun-grey generalities.

With it died the Japanese navy and any chance that...
Nehru first announced the Chinese border incursions. After hustling back to India for a top-level party meeting, Ghosh flew off to Peking to beg Mao Tse-tung to be less brutal. Unsuccessful in Peking, Ghosh went back to Moscow to plead for help there, and last week completed his circle tour by scurrying home to New Delhi to try to hold the party together. Best measure of his success so far: postponement of a party central-committee meeting scheduled for this week, presumably to allow time for tempers to cool...
