...Dalai Lama. You correctly quoted the principle of Buddha's philosophy of life as self-conquest. This is refreshing to see, since an alarming number of Westerners seem to be under the impression that Buddhism is a lot of heathen mumbo jumbo designed to please a golden idol so that he would send the worshiper to heaven...
...Fidel Castro that the U.S. will see is still an idol to Cuba's masses, but he has lost favor with much of the middle class that financed his way to power, and he has disillusioned many foreign spectators who cheered his rebellion against dictatorship.

Arthur Rank's British recording firm (he is also dickering with J. Arthur's calamitously titled U.S. subsidiary, Rank Records), and set off with a earful of fellow Oxonians to tour Switzerland on the first proceeds. The young idol-apparent, renamed Kris Carson by Promoter Lincoln, is dead serious about making a success as a singer, chiefly because he wants enough money to be able to support himself while...
