Each year a selection committee in various countries will determine the problems it wants worked on and the men & women it wants trained. Then the trustees will map a program for each fellow. Some fellows (college degrees not required) may be sent to ranches to learn about raising cattle; some will go to farms, others to corporations, and some to colleges and universities. At the same time, some Americans will be sent abroad-to study housing in Sweden, or the cellulose industry in Finland, or jets in Britain...
...book, a Commentary on the Apostles' Creed, attributed to St. Jerome, just a year after Caxton printed his first book in 1477. By the time William (later Archbishop) Laud took over the chancellorship of Oxford in 1629, it was printing such titles as Captain John Smith's Map of Virginia, Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy and Bacon's Advancement of Learning...
Cannibal Country. Explorer Clark was fresh from an OSS career in the Far East when he flew to Peru in 1946, in pursuit of a private postwar plan: he had heard of a man in Lima who had a treasure map.

These decent, God-fearing Americans fail to realize that, if they were Chinese peasants, they probably would prefer the Peking Communist regime to its predecessors. 2) To those who say "Look at the map, look at the Soviet expansion," I reply . . . look at the U.S. bases globally encircling the U.S.S.R. How would Americans feel about a Soviet base near the Panama Canal? How about a Monroe Doctrine for China? 3) I believe the Anglo-American partner ship potentially valuable for peace...
...opening Lhasa, the Forbidden City, to China proper and to Russia. Peking newspapers now reach Lhasa in ten days; before Mao they took several months. One 1,400-mile road starts from Sinkiang, at the edge of Russia, and curves through Tibet parallel to the Indian frontier (see map). From this strategic cord, side roads will point toward every major pass of the Himalayan mountains. The Chinese Communists are also laying down airfields in western Tibet, using Russian engineers and Russian equipment on all these projects...
