Flying into Cairo with an escort of four Soviet-built Egyptian MIGs, India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru spent five hours chatting with Egypt's fire-eating President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Presumed topic A: resumption of relations between Egypt and Great Britain. Middleman Nehru's neutralist comment after the confab: Anglo-Egyptian relations are "progressively returning to normal...
...story of China's disaster, his analysis of overall Communist methods and theory is perhaps the most important part of his book. It is, in fact, a primer whose lessons by now should be-but are not-elementary in the foreign offices of anti-Communist and neutralist countries. Chiang demolishes the widespread, fatalistic notion that the growth of Asian Communism is the "natural result of backwardness.'' It is, above all, the result of deliberate policy and must be countered by deliberate policy. What is needed in the West to fight Communism's "dialectic unity of offense...
This notion, as Chiang sees it, means paralysis. The West, moreover, ought to stop coddling neutralist nations. Instead, its overall policy should be a coordinated campaign of "indirect warfare" for "liberation" of the peoples enslaved by the new-Red imperialism.

This sense of frustration naturally nourishes the feeling of latent bitterness against the Americans." If the riots "lead to fresh thinking about Formosa," said the Manchester Guardian, "they will have done some good." The U.S.-baiting...
...wife of an Indian movie director. 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 he. "Does he say I'm his friend? I barely met him. He's no friend of mine!" Somebody suggested that the family should have hired a gang of goondas (goons) to thrash the rascal. "Why didn't you?" snapped Nehru...
