...three or four, I still might have become a good man." "I quit running at 95." "It was just as pleasant as a good restaurant." Who said which? These quotes, out of this week's TIME, were said (but not in the same order) by Jawaharlal Nehru, Pavel Popovich, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Matthew J.

Last week's anniversary was no exception.

Such apparent willingness to negotiate on Chinese terms stimulated cries of "appeasement" against Nehru's government. Attacks on Defense Minister Krishna Menon for his recent breakfast dates and cocktail party nattering with Chen Yi in Geneva have been stepped up, even though Nehru claimed that Menon was only acting under orders to probe China's real intentions in Ladakh. But Menon's contention that Ladakh was only "unoccupied territory" and Nehru's stance that...
