...India as a nation. Still slender, handsome and energetic at 70, he looks taller than his 5 ft. 8 in., works 17 hours a day year in and year out, and has had only a six-week vacation from his job since 1947. Personally fastidious, from the fresh rosebud in his buttonhole each morning to the silken handkerchief tucked into his right sleeve, he is most at home with India's teeming, untidy millions. An agnostic who "is not interested in religion," he is leader of one of the world's most religious peoples; he is a socialist...

For two years, lovers of peace, quiet and a less epileptic kind of minstrelsy have waited for Elvis Presley and the adenoidal art form, rock 'n' roll, to fade. But knowledgeable disk jockeys and trade bulletins offer such purists little hope. In spite of previously noted tremors, last week rock 'n' roll looked solid as Gibraltar, and Elvis-with a new stomp-and-holler hit, Jailhouse Rock (RCA Victor)- was perched right...

With the delicate, fragrantly bland character of a pot of jasmine tea (which isn't everybody's dish), India's exotic Nehru poured himself-rosebud and all -into the nation's teacup, there for all to sniff and sip. After leaving Ike, he drove to the National Press Club to face Washington's tough newsmen, was introduced irreverently as "the mystical man in the middle."
