...became his long-distance adviser and mentor. Last month, after a state visit to the Philippines, young Sihanouk began expressing views like those of Nehru. Angry at some heavy-handed "advising"' he had been subjected to in Manila, he charged the Philippines with participating in a U.S. plot to ensnare him into the SEATO pact (see above) and protested bitterly that while the U.S. had given the Philippines heavy farm machinery and hospitals, all Cambodia had got was "fancy automobiles and refrigerators...
...Ferenc Molnar. What they liked about its flavor was the salt.

Such a plot satisfied Puccini's love of dramatic situations, and he wrote his most ambitious and well-integrated music...
...nuclear tests, but Japanese scientists have learned to put it to work. While visiting New York last week, Dr. Yasuo Miyake of Tokyo's Meteorological Research Institute told how radioactive air masses created by the tests are timed, measured and analyzed. Then they are used as tracers to plot the circulation of high altitude winds...
