...Baptist dispute began in 1845 with a quarrel between Northern and Southern churches over whether Scripture warranted a central missionary organization, hardened into a permanent breach when Northerners declared that they would not appoint any missionary who was a slaveholder. Since the Civil War, the racial issue has become less important; most Southern Baptists remain segregationists, and American Baptists have probably done less for integration than any other major Northern Protestant church. The main barriers to union are matters of church practice that grew up during the schism...
Guarding the Strong Room. The crisis was triggered by Indonesia's puffy, demagogic President Sukarno, who has sworn to crush Malaysia at all costs. On the Sarawak frontier, an Indonesian mortar company lobbed shells across the border. Deepening Indonesia's quarrel with Britain, which is pledged to defend Malaysia, government troops in Djakarta barred British diplomats from entering their embassy, gutted fortnight ago by an unchecked mob.

Last year's fighting showed India the dangers of opposing China militarily. Before risking military action, she would have to compose her quarrel with Pakistan, a procedure which would probably cost her more territory in Kashmir than she would gain in Ladakh...

India has come to trust China, although not necessarily the Soviet Union, a little less than formerly, and the Western powers, although definitely not Pakistan, a little more. Life in the U.N. General Assembly is a little simpler for those diplomats who found Krishna Menon particularly offensive. But neither a major realignment of Indian policy nor a serious outburst of Chinese expansionism has occurred...
...Sunsuvbijches." Perennial letter topic for Frost was his running lover's quarrel with the world of education. It began when Frost withdrew in succession from Dartmouth and Harvard, and it tormented him through his later years of sporadic teaching in half a dozen schools and colleges, including Dartmouth and Harvard. "I could never forgive the sunsuvbijches' belief," he explained with pique to Untermeyer, "that they were leaving anybody behind who was not getting toward their degrees...
