...Tibet, and to muffle India's outrage. But last week many Indians were wondering if Nehru's way was the right one. Their doubts were voiced by the Praja Socialist leader, Acharya Kripalani, who told Nehru in Parliament that "our efforts to save the friendship with Red China will result in this: they will only credit us with cowardice...
Blinking Lights. In addition to traffic, British motorists face a horror largely unknown in the U.S.: the driver whose car displays, front and back, the big red L sign that stands for "learner." Disregarding double lines, painted arrows, blinking lights, rules of the road and the prospect of dismemberment and death, many L drivers whip past trucks on hills and blind curves, weave nonchalantly from lane to lane on the few big throughways. Picnicking on Sunday, drivers blithely leave their cars parked in the path of traffic. Last month 515 Britons died in traffic accidents; 23,277 were injured...
...such a national weakness for corruption that the President himself signs all government vouchers for more than $100.

His awesomely exact conclusion: "One in every 544 adult women in Metropolitan London is a harlot." Then dignity-packed Earl Howe, 75, felt compelled to report upon some involuntary research...
Skillfully edited film clips (all shot by NBCameramen) took the TV audience into the dangerous neighborhood of the East Berlin anti-Red riots of 1953, called back the high, droning traffic of the airlift of 1948-49. Then there were the refugees of today, a steady, hopeful stream, explaining their flight on their first afternoon of freedom. And there was Willy Brandt, the mayor, spelling out his startling theory that there may have been too many refugees, that Moscow might flood East Germany with Russians and Poles: this in .turn would make it harder than ever to achieve a free...
