...Tibetans in Kalimpong, an Indian trading center on Tibet's frontier, said Lhasa was quiet, though tense. One unverified report said 300 Red troops and 50 to 60 Tibetans were killed. The battle was set off Friday by Tibetan fears that the Communist overlords planned to kidnap the Dalai Lama, the 23-year-old king called "the living Buddha...
...Pope Sent You." During the past fortnight, his audiences have included Tibetan Lama Cohimed Rigdzin, two football teams, the children of Vatican City employees, the Italian National Blood Donors Association, Pennsylvania's "flying grandfather," Max Conrad, Mount Everest's Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, Fiat Auto Co.

As "electromatic" typewriters tap out the giant brain's findings, George and Chuck begin to have qualms. The high lama believes that the world will come to an end when Mark V emits the 9 billionth name of God. What if the monks turn violent when the Last Trump fails...
