Moving from the cold facts of Peking's internal policy to the balmy realm of hypothetical diplomacy, Kuo proceeds to shed his objectivity like a topcoat. In regard to the present "power balance" in Asia, the author's unabashed delight in the pre-eminence that China has achieved under Communist rule often verges on the chauvinistic. Although Kuo admits that China and the United States came breathlessly close to war in 1954, when Chou Enlai's own brand of "brinkmanship" succeeded in "stretching the peace in Asia almost to the breaking-point," he confidently assures the reader that Peking...

Nearly two years ago the Minnesota Business Executives Research Committee, a study group sponsored by the University of Minnesota's School of Business Administration, decided that it was time to move the tariff controversy into the realm of local reality.

Britons sensed that a decision was in the making, but few knew all that was going on to shape it. The question concerned not only Princess Margaret's happiness...
India's aging (69) Nizam of Hyderabad indicated that he intends to stay put there, even though next year's dissolution of his realm will put him out of a job. As unemployed potentates go, the adamant Nizam will get on pretty well. When Hyderabad agreed to union with India in 1949, the Nizam wangled some lofty guarantees of the style to which he is accustomed. Items: the continued right to be called His Exalted Highness, a taxfree privy purse of $1 million a year, plus a yearly $500,000 to run his menage and another half million...
