Even Sweden, which last fought a war 150 years ago, is now determined to defend its neutrality, if necessary. Swedish troops performed ably as members of the U.N. peace-keeping mission in the Congo. Two Scandinavians, Norway's Trygve Lie and Sweden's Dag Hammarskjold, ran the U.N. creditably for 15 years. When Hammarskjold died in a 1961 plane crash, he had extended U.N. influence and broadened his countrymen's horizons. Younger Swedes, who previously showed little interest in world affairs, now generally support Western proposals for an ambitious Swedish foreign aid program in keeping with...
...played hostess to the world's largest one-day dog show (4,456 entries in 1939) at her 500-acre estate in Madison, N.J. Today, she mothers 40-odd pedigreed German shepherds, retrievers, bloodhounds, beagles and a poodle, and kennel costs-nothing but prime cuts will do-ran to $50,000 in 1963. Her guardians want to put the mutts on soup bones, but a Manhattan judge ruled let them eat steak.

Even that was not quite enough: the White...
...regular pit out of sand, and I was hooked." In high school, Hansen jumped 13 ft. 6 in. with a Swedish steel pole, went on to 14 ft. in his sophomore year at Rice University. After that he joined the parade to the catapult-like fiber glass pole and ran into trouble. "It took me forever to get used to it," he says. "I didn't really learn to bend the pole until this year." In mid-May at Modesto, Calif., he hit 16 ft. 4½ in.-and he has not been that low since...
Although Sachs never knew Proust, he knew several of his homosexual servants, including one who ran a house of male prostitution originally financed by the novelist. From the servants' recollections, Sachs draws a picture of "an unknown Marcel Proust of the great, terrible depths," whose sadism led him to butcher shops where he watched calves being slaughtered and who once had a rat brought to him so that he could stab it to death with a hatpin. Proust, says Sachs, was "a kind of monster child, whose mind had all the experiences of a man, and whose soul...
