...Fair-minded TIME-readers, rereading my Oct. 12 article and Malcolm Muggeridge's reply [Nov. 2], may note that his is much more general (and rhetorical), mine more specific. He answers few of my concrete arguments. He doesn't even say if he agrees with the British or the American view on recognition of Peking, but he seems to accept the American view. If so, he is to that extent less representative than I of British opinion -though TIME, correctly, did not present my views as representative of British opinion as a whole...
...cannot continue," wrote 67-year-old Premier David Ben-Gurion last week. "I cannot bear up any more against the mental strain that I suffer in the government . . . For six years I have been working in a state of high tension . . . Mine is no ordinary tiredness." The Mapai Party's central committee heard his letter read in silence, then his comrades begged him to reconsider. But B-G sat still and unmoving.

Paint Every Two Years. For all its fiscal stability, Portugal is still a poor country where initiative withers in the gloom of resignation. The people who grow Portugal's olives, make its port, strip its cork, net and pack its sardines, mine its rich wolfram ore deposits, live in limpidly beautiful villages with white-painted cottages (a 1949 Salazar decree requires a new paint job every two years) amidst some of the world's grandest scenery.

After his family emigrated to the U.S., he had to take a job at the age of 16 in an Illinois coal mine. Following a stint as a tool grinder in a Detroit auto plant, he attended night classes at Washington University's School of Fine Arts in St. Louis, got a fellowship to Harvard. He had his first Manhattan show in 1940, and the critics hailed his down-to-earth pictures...
Track Listener. Using principles of wartime land mine detectors, the Pennsylvania Railroad worked out an electronic device that shows up flaws at the juncture of two rail sections, at switches or through paved highway crossings. Operated by a track walker wearing earphones, the machine picks up defects by changing from a high-pitched tone to a growl...
