Korea. Last May, through an artfully casual conversation with India's Nehru, Dulles warned the Chinese Communists that if the Korean truce talks broke down once again the U.S. would have to enlarge the war. Two months later the Communists signed the armistice. The terms left many Americans unhappy, but no one disputed the proposition that a diplomatic stalemate was preferable to a military stalemate. Dulles has been careful to keep up his relations with Korea's stubborn Syngman Rhee in the face of bitter anti-Rhee sentiment among U.S. allies. Aware that the armistice terms...
Sincerity & Suspicion. Another criticism of Dulles is that his "intransigent" attitude toward the Soviet Union increases the danger of superbomb war. British Socialists and their new spiritual leader, Jawaharlal Nehru, wring their hands whenever Dulles makes a statement defining the struggle with Communism in moral and religious terms...

President Rajendra Prasad, who gave up his Bihar estates to Bhave's campaign to collect land for his landless ones (TIME, May 11), sent a message...
Wellesley & Jail. But when Mahatma Gandhi came, the entire family Nehru joined his nonviolent rebellion, organized strikes, whipped up civil disobedience against the British raj-and often went to jail. Vijaya Lakshmi served three terms, two years and eight months, on a food allowance of 19? per day. Her husband, Ranjit Pandit, a lawyer and Sanskrit scholar, spent about ten years in jail and died in 1944 from its ill effects...
