...farm sector of the economy was already sagging-only 8% of the nation's capital investment had been allotted to its development. Though the gross industrial product increased by 123%, gross farm production rose a mere 26%, scarcely more than the eight-year population growth, by Western estimates. Common sense demanded that more help be given agriculture, even if it meant a pause in the forced drive toward heavy industry. But Mao Tse-tung treats economic problems exactly as he would an enemy's main line of resistance: by ordering forward a human wave to storm and overwhelm...
...Norway. So far, the threat has failed, as was demonstrated at another luncheon meeting last week by Norwegian Foreign Minister Halvard M. Lange, who traveled to Moscow for talks. In a speech, Lange was publicly berated by Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan for Norway's NATO membership. Angrily, Lange rose to reply, saying in effect that Norway had no intention of withdrawing from NATO: "This is a political reality.

In a superb cast, George Rose is comic as a ubiquitous Common Man, and Keith Baxter makes the young Henry VIII an uncut diamond of the Renaissance new learning...

Recently, three U.S. scientists were pulling a fish trap through a hole in the ice when a seal rose through the hole with a big fish in its jaws. The scientists struggled with the seal for the fish, won after a desperate tug of war. The fish, 52 in. long and weighing 58 Ibs., turned out to be an unknown species of a family that was not supposed...
