...campaign has been hot. In an attack on Menon, Kripalani said: "I charge him with wasting the money of a poor starving nation. I charge him with the neglect of the defense of the country against the aggression of Communist China. I charge him with having lent his support to totalitarian regimes against the will of the people." Kripalani supporters have circulated a pamphlet titled "Krishna Menon-Danger to India" that calls Menon a "crypto-Communist...
...Kennedy did not neglect strategic nuclear deterrents. He called for a step-up in ballistic missile production, particularly of Atlas and Titan ICBMs; for funds to build twelve more Polaris submarines to be started in '63 and '64, bringing the planned total to 41; for a 1,200-plane operational force of transcontinental bombers (one-eighth of them on continuous airborne alert), and for a step-up in the production of nuclear weapons. He also requested $700 million for civil defense, including a $460 million program for shelter construction in community buildings. His entire 1963 defense budget assumes...

Nor should aspiring freshmen neglect Katherine Kinkead's slim, fat-titled How an Ivy League College Decides on Admissions (Norton; $2.95), an illuminating account of Yale's headaches...
...Victorian Ireland and Scotland, for example. Prostrated by the terrible famine of the '40s, Ireland became so needy that even the highborn stole food at the Lord Lieutenant's parties, while the people seethed and periodically struck out. Ireland, too, suffered from the Queen's neglect as Scotland gained from her affection and her habit of spending all her summers at Balmoral. In Scotland's stern Calvinist circles, no one stole food at parties, but no one ate hot food on Sunday; and a widow, entering a theater for the first time in her life, suddenly...
