Fourteen Hours. Faced with these problems, most Indians beg for time that may not be available. India has been independent only twelve years, they say, and already the inequities of the caste system have been abolished-at least by law if not in practice.

But help must come from abroad, and ways and means of rechanneling the stream of Indian life will certainly be discussed this week by Eisenhower and Prime Minister Nehru...
Actually Burma's pols have been electioneering ever since last May, when moonfaced ex-premier U Nu lashed out at army rule (TIME, June 1).

...House rose to cheer Churchill as he shuffled to his accustomed seat. It was his 85th birthday. After hearing congratulations from Labor Leader Hugh Gaitskell and Tory House Boss R.A. ("Rab") Butler, the old man rose slowly to break his long parliamentary silence. His speech in full: "May I say I accept most gratefully and eagerly both forms of compliments." Afterward, Sir Winston and Lady Churchill celebrated the anniversary at their Hyde Park Gate home, which they had fled a day earlier to avoid getting underfoot while the chef and a platoon of servants were scurrying about while manning their...
