Little Outbreak. There seems to be no hint in Ceylon of last year's bestial communal riots between Hindu Tamils and Buddhist Sinhalese, in which an estimated 1,000 died-some of them soaked with kerosene and burned alive (TIME, June 16, 1958). Premier Bandaranaike now refers to the riots, largely caused by his own ineptitude, as "one of those little outbreaks."

...never without a physician's referral. The subject's colleagues and family supply background data before his visit. He is expected to show up for Sunday dinner, stay until Saturday afternoon. In those six days he gets a thorough going-over by psychologists and psychiatrists, but no hint of psychoanalysis-there is not a couch in the place. The only strict rule: every subject must take daily walks over the surrounding hills...
