Swinging Pendulum. For four days smoke billowed over Calcutta's skyline. Finally, Home Minister G. L. Nanda ordered two army battalions into the city, told them to show "no mercy in quelling the disorder." The army clamped martial law on five of the city's 25 police districts, gunned down looters and arsonists in the streets, threw more than 10,000 demonstrators into jail. By the time order was restored, 200 were dead, 600 wounded, 73,000 homeless, and whole portions of the city razed. Hoping to minimize the religious aspect of the rioting, West Bengal officials took...

The highest mountain ever scaled--Nanda Devi--fell originally to an HMC group in an ascent where the routine calamities of mountain climbing expanded into a series of near-disasters. Seven Harvard men (plus a gentleman from the Alpine Club of London) attacked the 25,600-foot "White Goddess" in 1936 and (1) ran into a glacial flood, (2) lost half of their local porters in a mass mutiny, (3) had to make six trips down a 12-mile gorge to carry in supplies, and (4) had a case of ptomaine...
This week, a modern psychoanalyst brought forth another theory: Oedipus may have been unconsciously looking for power, rather than sex. Manhattan's Erich Fromm argued the point in a new anthology (The Family: Its Function and Destiny, edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen; Harper; $6). According to Fromm, there is no real evidence in the ancient myth that Oedipus was in love with his mother. He murdered his father, King Laius of Thebes, and was later made king; then he married his mother (without knowing their relationship) merely because she went along with the throne...
