...separate us, but we are bad enemies, too-quite ruthless." Startled, Nehru paused, then replied: "We have no enemies. If there are any, we try to make friends." In the ruthless game of winning friends and influencing policy, Russia had a slight edge over India last week. With cheerful intent the Russians had sent Nehru off on one of the most exhausting tours ever planned for a visiting dignitary. At Stalingrad, after laying a wreath on a mass grave of Red army soldiers, Nehru was already complaining of "an exasperating day of dust and heat and painful war memories." Flown...

Mr. Gwirtzman tried his best to discredit the seriousness of Mr. Buckley's intent by inflating a few casual remarks about who would or would not shake hands with whom to the status of a main character in the plot. Did Mr. Gwirtzman attempt to convey any of Mr. Buckley's more serious points to his CRIMSON audience? Did Mr. Gwirtzman himself risk an exchange...
