Journey to Peking. Returning to Lhasa, the 17-year-old Dalai Lama received the Red emissaries with frank curiosity. Much of what they proposed-schools, roads, hospitals, light industry-met his approval. Many Tibetans welcomed the break with the feudal past, argued: "We must learn modern methods from someone-why not the Chinese?" The Dalai Lama made a six-month visit to Mao Tse-tung's new China, listened patiently to lectures on Marxism and Leninism, saw factories, dams, parades. Back in Tibet, Red technicians set to work. Some 3,000 Tibetan students were shipped off to school...

...cities and the main roads. They can even find a handful of Tibetan collaborators, like their tame puppet, the tenth Panchen Lama, a wan young man of 22 who is unable to control the monks of his own lamaseries. But the Red troops, estimated at 60,000-80,000, must be supplied from a base 70 miles distant, over a single, hazardous road that can be easily cut by Khamba guerrillas...

The music for the Lipsi, the German Democratic Republic's newly authorized, ideologically correct song-and-dance craze, sounded like a South American nightmare with a boogie beat. It was nothing but a hopped-up minuet in 6/4 time -bogue*, man, real bogue.-The dance steps themselves looked like a mixed-up rumba, laced with old-fashioned open steps that led to a kind of shimmying amble-ticky, man, real ticky...

Daughter of Chicago Fashion Commentator Maggie Daly Bazlen (Brigid's father is dead), she began at the age of ten with a part in an ABC network soaper called Hawkins Falls, lasted 2½ years before she was tapped for Puppeteer Nellé's show.

Ever since the dawn of atomic power, scientists have dreamed of converting nuclear energy directly into electricity. The potential is clear from a simple statistic: a single pound of uranium 235 has the same fuel energy as 1,500 Ibs. of coal. But present atomic power plants must go through costly intermediate steps: nuclear fission produces heat, the heat is used to generate steam, the steam drives a turbine, the turbine generates the electricity...
