Heavy-lidded, his inevitable rose limp in his buttonhole, Jawaharlal Nehru stood up behind his teakwood desk in Parliament one day last week and said, almost inaudibly: "We have reached the conclusion of our journey." After 40 hours of debate and long years of dickering, India was going to get a new States Reorganization Bill, reapportioning the country into 14 large and viable states and six centrally run enclaves, e.g., the capital city of New Delhi. The bill repelled the chaotic factions who have cried for the fragmentation of India along the boundary lines of its 844 languages and dialects...
Breaking the 430-mile journey from the port of Buenaventura to Bogotá, six government trucks braked to a stop one afternoon last week beside the old Pacific railroad station in Cali, the palm-shaded heart city of the rich Cauca River Valley. In a district jammed with factories, warehouses and slums, the drivers bedded down for the night with their cargo-more than 30 tons of high explosives. At 1:07 a.m., like 30 blockbusters, the cargo blew up, in a tower of red flame and seething of black smoke...
...climb back toward the top had been a painful journey, marred by some nightmarish detours into the bush. A dismal five games into third place in mid-July, Manager Walter Alston had to read the riot act to his world champions before they finally got themselves untracked. Duke Snider, the league's leading homerun hitter, began to hit a few (32 at week's end). Cleveland Castoff Sal Maglie started pitching the kind of games he once turned in for the Giants, going the distance in all five of his victories, two of them shutouts. With the team...
...What makes their liaison inevitable is that they both fear the binding emotions of real love like a plague and hence, in Author Sagan's Sartrian thinking, respect each other's freedom. Both cherish isolated moments of intense sensation, encountered rather like chance oases in the desert journey of what they regard as life's everyday meaninglessness. After one passionate week on the Riviera stretches into two, Dominique finds that she cannot hand Luc back to his wife in quite the airy way in which she took him. But Luc has not fallen in love, and before...
Behind him the Vice President left crackling reaction to his long-distance debate with neutralism's high priest, Pandit Nehru (see FOREIGN NEWS). In Manila, on the first stopover of his journey (TIME, July 16), Nixon had re-emphasized U.S. views on "the fearful risk" of neutralism and the wisdom of collective security. In London, 6,667 miles away, attending the conference of British Commonwealth Prime Ministers, Nehru's sensitive ears picked up a personal implication. Retorted he: Nixon-Dulles pronouncements on neutralism constituted neither a democratic nor a happy approach to good international relations...
