Asia's own cold war-between Pakistan and India-last week unexpectedly showed signs of thawing.

At first, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had hard words for the government of Pakistan's General Mohammed Ayub Khan ("a naked military dictatorship").

I'll give you the money to go to Sacramento to see Warren's eyes!'" The esthetic quarrel will be resolved with Booth collecting his money for a canvas probably destined for indefinite storage in the basement of San Francisco's Palace of the Legion of Honor. Cried Knight's wife Virginia: "Goodie looks so thin." Snapped Booth: "It was a fiasco." Said Goodie Knignt...
