...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.

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...
