...soft and kind young man, a devout Buddhist who abhors seeing any of his people suffering, Sihanouk has been through many changes of heart. The whole world cheered the way his representatives at the 1954 Geneva Conference withstood Communist attempts to subvert Cambodia by treaty. Then he fell under Nehru's spell, and hinted darkly that U.S. aid ($120 million in three years) was being used as a device to take over Cambodia. He welcomed Chou En-lai to Pnompenh last November -but then became alarmed at the Communists' evident strength in Cambodia's economically powerful Chinese...
Showing Understanding. Acutely aware that he must start by disproving Communist accusations that he is an American puppet (which he certainly is not), Kishi was ready to sign joint communiques with Burma's U Nu and India's Nehru denouncing all nuclear tests. He hopes to remain on good terms with the U.S., but his line among Asians is that "the U.S. has failed in Asia, despite great sacrifices for Southeast Asia's welfare, through lack of understanding." As the first Japanese Prime Minister since the war to visit Southeast Asia, he himself had to be wary...
...arrival in Colombo: "We remain wary of Japan's superiority complex toward other Asians."

A delegation from the family of doe-eyed Sonali, mother of two sons, called on Nehru with the obvious purpose of persuading him to rid Sonali of Rossellini, 51. They hinted that Rossellini claimed to be a pal of Nehru's. Neutralist Nehru took sides instanter. "That rascal!" cried...
...concern over the future of the Congress Party, few Indians seemed willing to lay any of the blame where some of it belonged-at the door of Jawaharlal Nehru himself. While Nehru's vast popularity is what most holds the party together, he also tends to strangle and restrict it. By running both the party and the government like a Mogul court, Nehru has failed notably to foster any young talent. As a result, young Indians resent the party, charge that it offers little opportunity to intelligent newcomers. Of 13 chief ministers recently appointed in Congress-run states, five...
