Here was India, under savage assault from the Communist giant it had sought to befriend, unaided by the neutralist nations it had led ("Where was Sukarno? Where was Nasser? Where was Tito?" asked a disillusioned Indian diplomat). And here was India, the unaligned, seeking and receiving help from the Western powers it had scorned.

...used to be that a neutralist wishing to show how even-handed his politics were had to journey half a world, to Washington and Moscow. Now he can achieve the same effect on the cheap, by a trip to the U.N. with layovers in Washington and Havana. Last week Algeria's Premier Ahmed ben Bella, 45, leading his new nation into "constructive neutrality," said goodbye to President Kennedy one day and hello to Fidel Castro the next...
