...Stalin Peace Prize winner Nenni. And right from the start, Nenni flatly refused to meet the most critical Social Democratic condition for collaboration-a demand that he break his "unity of action" pact with the Communists. Matteotti, carefully leaving the door open to further negotiations, said that the first round of talks produced "no ruptures and no miracles." At week's end, however, Saragat stepped in to make it clear that neither he nor the Social Democratic Party directorate would accept anything less than a miracle. Said Saragat: "We are ready for unification by any means but one: totalitarianism...
...nearly 20 years of political life, Burma's smiling, round-faced U Nu has never lost the conviction that he is primarily "a dreamer, a writer." He is even convinced that, given a chance to concentrate, he might have become the Burmese Bernard Shaw. Circumstances have never given U Nu the opportunity to test his theory.

His bee-swarming attack of pushes and pawings mixed with a few punches had Patterson going backward for the greater part of three rounds. But Patterson was more chastened than hurt; he came back in the final rounds with a crowd-rousing demonstration of a light-heavy frappéing the brains of a cast-iron heavyweight. Jackson somehow stayed on his feet, twice taking the scenic route back to his corner, but always...
...respect the intellectual the way he is respected in Britain. But then, they don't respect anyone, not even Charlie Wilson. The English, on the other hand, are a deferential society, as Bagehot said. They'll defer to dukes or earls or anyone with the right tie round his neck. So they defer to the intellectual because he has generally got the right tie round his neck...
