India and Red China have exchanged more diplomatic notes than bullets in their territorial wrangle over the disputed Himalayan border between the two countries. Last week China passed India its 76th note in nine months-and clearly indicated that it thought its southern neighbor was the pawn in what Jawaharlal Nehru has described as a "game of military chess" along the ill-defined frontier...

For many rural families, the annual campfire meeting-an institution designed to bring God to the cowboy-may be their only contact with organized religion...
