...having second thoughts last week as Pakistanis gave Liu, 68, and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, 65, the headiest welcome ever accorded state visitors to their country. After tumultuous greetings in Rawalpindi (TIME, April 1), perhaps 1,000,000 people poured into the streets of Lahore, the old Mogul capital, sprinkling rose water into the path of the Chinese, heaping flower petals on Liu's car, shouting "Long live Pakistan-China friendship!" It was the greatest celebration since Independence in 1947, and, predictably, in spots it had a distinctly anti-American flavor. Young toughs waved "Chinese yes, Yankees no" signs...
Frozen Feud. Though the air was filled with cries for peace, no one had any high hopes of getting it. The battle that has been joined on the Punjab plain has been building for hundreds of years. Ever since the 16th century Mogul invasion of India, Moslems and Hindus have fought each other for control of the subcontinent.

Their reputation for shrewdness is so great that an Indian saying runs, "If you meet a Kayasth and a serpent, kill the Kayasth first...
...black, and first-quarter '64 earnings ($1,041,000) were almost twice as high as in the same period last year. Weltner expects further improvement, thanks to such current successes as Becket and Seven Days in May. A small, freckled man who resembles neither a movie mogul nor a matinee idol, Welt ier is a chemist by training who begat, in the darkroom during the early '20s. How did he reach the summit of Paramount's star-ringed mountain? Says Weltner, with a grin: "Longevity, that...
