...19th year, despite oblique hints from Peking that it is ready, after just as many years of indifference, to join the roster. The Red Chinese are expected to receive support from Canada and Italy, whose envoys are currently negotiating diplomatic recognition of Red China. The U.S., as always, will lead the opposition. There are reports as well that East Germany is anxious for membership, and that East European nations will attempt a bit of backdoor maneuvering in order to gain U.N. status for Walter Ulbricht's regime.

Fiat Nox (let there be night) he sees as the first commandment of the modern world. The result of seeking heaven on earth is hell. "Four freedoms lead to forty times more servitudes," cries Muggeridee, and Savonarola in top form and full throat from the pulpit of the Duomo cried no louder. We are gabardine swine losing life and liberty in the pursuit of happiness. The real modern religion is "utopianism," and by that ism, Muggeridge means the universal...
