...your English readers was charmed with the glimpses of England behind Britain's Macmillan on the Oct. 19 TIME cover. However, I was surprised to note that the swing to the right in the election was so pronounced that the traffic under the Prime Minister's nose is keeping to the right. I doubt whether even a big Tory majority could cause such a change. Maybe the picture shows a narrow, one-way street, and the cyclists are merely Labor voters walking their machines against the traffic to demonstrate that freeborn Britons can go where they darn well...
Then, with bland audacity, Red China's latest note hinted at a weird bargain: if India would give up a portion of Kashmir around Ladakh, China might stop its border pressure in India's Northeast Frontier Agency, a region lying 850 miles farther to the east between India and Tibet, whose frontier was settled 45 years ago when the so-called McMahon Line was defined.

(Wisecracking Virtuoso Rubinstein boasted after one performance that he could play an entire new recital with the notes that had fallen under the piano.) Pianist Richter-Haaser belongs to the hair-pulling, note-dropping school, in the spectacular romantic tradition. His performance last week-Beethoven's "Appassionato," Sonata, Schumann's Fantasy...
...Typical of Izvestia's reports from all over is a letter telling how one Lukeria Sevchuk was converted by Baptists and began to bring pressure on her daughters, Nina and Natasha, to join her in the faith. Nina valiantly held out, but ailing Natasha committed suicide, leaving a note to mother: "You are a serpent. You can now bring your revivalists here. Nobody will bother...
