...conference took place just 200 miles from Bandung, where in 1955 newly liberated Afro-Asian nations, full of hostility toward their former rulers, joined in opposition to all colonialism. Red China was there too. Since then Red China has lost friends over Tibet, the older Western nations have won increased understanding of their own motives because they have learned to understand the new nation better, and the new nations themselves have gained in political maturity. The harsh spirit of Bandung was hardly detectable among the delegates who in Jogjakarta last week enthusiastically voted to continue the Colombo Plan until...
While many another team across the nation can run up gaudy season records against in-and-out opposition, the schools of the rugged Big Ten are cursed by having to play one another Saturday after Saturday. The resulting won-lost marks are often unimposing, but by mid-November the fires of Big Ten competition annually forge a flock of tough, tenacious teams that can meet any squad in the land on even terms. Last week thrice-beaten Michigan State overturned Northwestern, 15-10, and thrice-beaten Illinois did the same to Wisconsin, 9-6, to throw the Big Ten race...
Last week Nelson was taking solace from his philosophy after his undefeated team, ranked first among the nation's small colleges, was outmanned and outplayed by Ohio's undefeated Bowling Green, 30-8.

In November's first week, sales in U.S. department stores were running 5% ahead of last year. Retail sales for the first ten months of 1959 total $179.9 billion, 9% above...
...want to sound like a Pollyanna," said a steelman last week, "but so far, everything is going better than we dreamed it could." With its 500,000-man labor force back on the job, the nation's steel industry was making an amazing comeback. Barely a week after the first furnaces were fired up again, the mills were up to 45.9% of capacity, and turning out 1,300,000 tons of steel. This week output should be clipping along at better than 60%, well ahead of the first estimates...
