...would the chieftains of the West-but not on Khrushchev's loaded terms. In his speech, before bemedaled female Heroes of Socialist Labor, youthful innocents from Africa and sari-clad matrons from India, Khrushchev rehashed Moscow's charge that controlled disarmament is a form of espionage that "no self-respecting country can accept"; suggested that Scandinavian or Benelux troops plus Polish and Czechoslovak garrisons replace U.S., British and French forces in West Berlin; condemned the current U.S. series of nuclear tests in the Pacific. For good measure, Khrushchev waved his newest war club and boasted that Soviet scientists...
...taste of old times. Through their villages, in a 1948 Buick that scattered peacocks, startled bullocks and cloaked the neem trees with dust as it sped along, came the Maharani Gayatri Devi, her bobbed brown hair dipping over one eye and her lithe figure wrapped in a peppermint chiffon sari. With the homage they and their forefathers had always displayed to a maharajah's wife, the villagers touched foreheads to the dust, tossed marigold garlands and waved incense.

The pro-Western royal Laotian government, on hearing that it would be outnumbered, boycotted the conference-even though a British diplomat in Laos spent all day on a motor scooter trying to track down the Foreign Affairs Secretary and get him to change his mind...
...Many a Progeny-Many an Agony," read posters on Bombay buses last week. Teeming India is officially committed, more than any other nation in the world, to birth control. At 1,800 "family planning centers" across this nation of 403 million, social workers fit diaphragms and counsel sari-swathed village women on simpler methods of contraception (sample prescription: if nothing better is handy, a suppository of cotton wadding soaked in cooking oil may suffice). Despite back-country ignorance and considered opposition from leaders of India's 5,500,000 Roman Catholics, contraceptives are gaining slow acceptance in India...
