...West insists, and rightly, that the commission must proclaim a cease-fire before the 14-power conference begins. It wants no repetition of the Diem Bien Phu disaster: the Geneva Conference in '54 started before the contending armies had agreed to cease fire, and the Communists took advantage of the lull to attack and surround the French fortress. The Russians have stepped up supply shipments to Northern Laos in the past few days, making the case-fire all the more important. And, since there is only light fighting at the present, despite rumors of a new rebel offensive, the cease...
Many theatre folk keep throwing up their hands and proclaim that it cannot successfully be staged. But my ears are still ringing with the sounds of the justly celebrated German-language production of Part One, which I witnessed in New York a month ago; and I recall seeing one impressive production in English. The viability of Part Two in this country is at present problematical, though Gruendgens and his Hamburg troupe have twice attempted it on their home ground...
Though the play was probably first given in a chapel, its tone is better suited to a tavern. Almost any place would have been better than Boylston Hall; my own choice would have been Cronin's.

Accompanied by 440 functionaries, diplomats, actors, athletes and jugglers, Red China's Premier Chou En-lai visited neighboring Burma last week to proclaim that "no gift in the world is more precious than people's friendship." Honored as the first recipient of Burma's jade-studded order of the "Supreme Upholder of the Glory of Great Love," Chou was in his most conciliatory mood as he exchanged papers with Burma's Premier U Nu formally ratifying the border treaty that settled the long-festering Sino-Burmese frontier dispute (TIME, Feb. 8, 1960). To seal this...
...Part One describes the 1947 "ingathering of the exiles" in a magnificent anecdote-the fiercely exciting dramatization of an episode in which some 600 Jewish internees escape from a British camp on Cyprus, board a rustbucket called Exodus in the harbor at Famagusta, throw all their food overboard and proclaim to the watching world that they will die of starvation or even blow up the ship unless the British let them sail for the promised land...
