Abroad, Ayub has remained firmly pro-Western and a member of CENTO. He is the first leader of Pakistan to make a determined effort to improve relations with India. The problem of the canal waters of the Indus basin is nearing settlement (TIME, June 1). After twelve years of border conflict in Kashmir, an Indian and a Pakistani commission last week concluded talks that may put this problem to rest. Half a year ago, Nehru and most Indians still spoke contemptuously of the "naked military dictatorship" in Pakistan. Today Indians are increasingly aware that social and economic evils still festering...
...love, we get married, we raise our children. We are people, and nothing human is alien to us. Speaking frankly, comrade writers, some of your books simply make us feel sorry for you. Suppose you read a book about writers in which all attention is focused on the problem of which finger you hit the typewriter key with. Wouldn't it offend you?

And when Soviet...
...horde of 500 journalists in Moscow, said Hagerty, could only "get in the way of themselves, and throttle the entire operation." But Hagerty offered no answers. Said he: "I don't have the solution. It's a problem that the news people will have to solve themselves. I have no right to decide what newsmen go with the President to Russia, and I don't want that right. That must be decided by the news media. But unless we straighten out this problem, we'll have nothing but chaos. And chaos can lead only...
