...Fight the Same Evils." U Nu, 48, has been Prime Minister of Burma (pop. 19 million) for all seven of its years as a free country. Beset by two Communist and several factional rebellions, by the legacy of war's chaos, by the inexperience of his young civil servants, U Nu has striven to lift his country toward new hope of survival (TIME, Aug. 30). Modest and meditative U Nu fought the Communists at home, plumped for Nehru's neutralism abroad, but concentrated on leading an extraordinary Buddhist revival which is now the focus of his country...
...Mintoff, was in London last week buttonholing top officials in both British parties. Their goal was to secure seats in the British House of Commons, just like Northern Ireland, which has a government of its own along with representation in the British Parliament.

...help the college celebrate, friends and alumni from all over the U.S. gathered last week in Berea (pop. 3,400).

At home on East Street, he riffled through a 2-ft.-high stack of telegrams. Then, swamped by offers for endorsements, interviews and public appearances, he telephoned Fred Corcoran, professional business manager for professional athletes, became a Corcoran client. Later in the day the local...
...might have over blown a less elastic man than Golfer Fleck. But the operator and pro of Davenport's two municipal golf courses, as unpretentious as an ear of Iowa corn, has seen too much adversity in golf to let one victory, even though golf's greatest, pop his sides. After years of luckless touring on the winter circuit (in 1953 he won a total of $13-75), how did Jack Fleck win the big one in San Francisco? The trick-turner was the change in his putting. Although he once offered up to $1,000 to other...
