...panic, Tsubame passed the hat and raised $20,000 to send Mayor Ko Tamaki to Washington with nine other delegates to see the President. (It also stopped building the road after 50 yards.) They brought along petitions signed by 14,000 townspeople and a stack of pleading letters written by schoolchildren in halting English. ("Mayor Tamaki as well as the folks in the town of Tsubame is now in a fix with your plan to raise the duty.") The President did not see the delegation, but it did get in to visit third-echelon officials...
...Queer Talk." Even more revealing than Mao's own admissions was the violence of the public criticism unleashed by Red China's current "rectification" campaign. At a discussion meet in Peking's China People's University, Ko Pei-chi, lecturer in industrial economy, chemistry and physics, took at face value Mao's slogan "Let a hundred schrools of thought contend."

At ringside in Chicago, the experts exchanged knowing nods: age had soured Sugar...
Except for some indestructible old favorites, sentimental Viennese oldies are supplanted by mambos, boogie-woogie and other jazz. Teen-agers sit for hours, nursing their beers and feeding schillings to the mechanical monsters. Current hits: Three Coins in the Fountain, Ko Ko Mo and I Love Paris (in the springtime). There are those who deplore the jukebox (which is known as "Musikautomat") as further evidence that civilization is in schrecklich shape. But Vienna's present-day songwriters (not a Strauss among them) are jazzing up older tunes for jukebox use and, in the process, are demonstrating that they...
