...hustings, Nehru seemed far from the blinkers and the abstruse neutralism of New Delhi: he was the magnetic Panditji again, back among the people he had helped Gandhi lead to independence.

...escape the Bear's hug, Finland's new government hopes for an opening of Western markets and a new trade pact with Britain. Tuomioja's Cabinet could do most to help at home by paring down wages and prices, and curtailing social benefits which Finland cannot afford. But not even Tuomioja's conservatives dare offend both the Soviet Union and the Finnish trade unions, which are wedded to the welfare state.
