...their rival claims to an obscure and worth less piece of land. Last week, after reviewing mountains of conflicting evidence, a U.N.-sanctioned tribunal of three justices (from Iran, Sweden and Yugoslavia) handed down a judgment that, in effect, gave 90% of nothing to India and the rest to Pakistan...

Helped along by the country's desperate food shortages, a stagnant economy and growing unrest, the Jana Sangh sharply attacked Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's socialist-minded Congress Party. It demanded better economic planning, free enterprise to attract foreign investment, a harder line against Pakistan and China, and the development of a nuclear bomb for India. Growing steadily, it won control of the city of Delhi and domination of the opposition coalitions in the two key states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. In last year's national parliamentary elections, the Jana Sangh rolled up 14 million...

...change was dramatic. In 1959, still focusing on education, Curle left Pakistan for Africa, and eight years of planning, agitating, and construction--some in Harvard's name, some on his own steam. A venture in South Africa shows the intensity of Curle's drive. His idea was to build some good colleges in Swaziland and Basutoland--independent black enclaves within South Africa--and get the South African government to let their blacks attend the new institutions. South Africa has a system of higher education for its Africans, but it consists of hopelessly inadequate "tribal colleges" which separate not only white...
