...Since Francisco Franco installed himself as Spain's dictator in 1938, every newscast had unfailingly ended with a ponderous salute to his Falangist Party and a martial rendition of the Falangist anthem. Last week, for the first time, news bulletins ended instead with a pleasant feminine voice bidding señores y señoras good day, followed by a few bars of a catchy paso doble...
...year-old Nehru gave the impression of being swept along by this tumult, not of leading it. His agony was apparent as he rose in Parliament, three days before the Chinese cease-fire announcement, to report that the Indian army had been decisively defeated at Se Pass and Walong. The news raised a storm among the M.P.s. A Deputy from the threatened Assam state was on his feet, shaking with indignation and demanding, "What is the government going to do? Why can't you tell us? Are we going to get both men and materials from friendly countries...
While the Indians worked to build up a new defense line at Walong and in the lofty Se Pass, reinforcements were hurried to Assam. The effort to bring up men and supplies from the plains was backbreaking. TIME Correspondent Edward Behr made the trip over a Jeep path that was like a roller coaster 70 miles long and nearly three miles high. He reports: "The Jeep path begins at Tezpur, amid groves of banana and banyan trees, then climbs steeply upward through forests of oak and pine to a 10,000-ft. summit. Here the path plunges dizzily downward...
...Chinese lines. Following an artillery barrage, 1,000 Indian jawans (G.I.s) drove the Chinese from the lower slopes of a hill near Walong. It was a costly victory, for the Chinese launched a massive counterattack through and around Walong, driving the Indians 80 miles down the Luhit valley. At Se Pass, the Chinese victory was even more spectacular. Having spotted the Indian gun emplacements, the Chinese plastered them with mortar and artillery shells, and then sent forward a Korea-style "human sea" assault. Two Chinese flanking columns of several thousand men each moved undetected and with bewildering speed through deep...
...this is within the play. The added conception by Strindberg which makes his play a brilliant contribution to the literature of morality is the dramatic relationship between the play per se and the audience. The play is not "lopsided, shambling and confused" if we enter into it with the same lack of knowledge that the Student demonstrates in the first scene. Like us, he wavers between condemnation of Hummel for the heinous sins done to his father and sympathy for the Old Man because of the telling presence of his mortality, the moments when decay and ruin reduce Hummel...
