...most interesting map of the U.S.S.R. in the Nov. 30 issue. When did Norway annex Sweden? . . . The Swedes won't be happy, and I doubt very much that the Norwegians will...
...philosopher is one who is capable of making distinctions. TIME can well be placed in that category [with] its article on Vydvizhenets Khrushchev [Nov. 30], which brought to light a distinction that the Ukrainian people staunchly and vigorously uphold . . .

Dienbienphu lies on a broad plateau with a good airfield, which the French soon put in condition and ringed with barbed wire and trenches. From this base they could keep in touch with Thai anti-Communist guerrillas by radio. When the enemy moved up his 316th Division from the southeast, in position to attack either Dienbienphu or Laichau, the French decided to let Laichau go. They evacuated the garrison (using part...
