Said one P.W. "My tongue fails to describe how happy I feel." Nationalist China, bursting with pride that so many of its countrymen have chosen the Nationalist side when choosing was difficult, was determined to give the prisoners a rousing welcome. But it also wanted to be sure that no unregenerate Communist agents slipped in unrecognized in the general rejoicing. Charged with the duties both of welcome and of careful screening is the officer who has emerged as Nationalist China's rising man. He is Lieut. General Chiang Ching-kuo, eldest son of the 66-year-old Generalissimo Chiang...

Lewis himself had scored a first-quarter touchdown for the Crimson Tide. But soon, from his seat on the bench, Tommy saw real trouble coming: far downfield, on the 5-yd. line, Rice...
...Pride & Prejudice. Tough, affable Grantley Russell, son of a hall porter but now a well-to-do engineer, regards Guiana's caste system with a mocking grin.

"Goo-goo, my high-color belle," he cries, tossing his little daughter Sylvia to the ceiling. "Where do you come into the picture? What's your rating?"
