...religious sect called "the Moslems."* Calmly feeding the rankling frustration of urban Negroes, the Moslems reach deep among the least-educated, lowest-paid Negroes jammed into big-city slums from Harlem to Los Angeles. Muhammad's virulent anti-Americanism and antiSemitism, plus his elite corps of dark-suited, shaven-polled young "honor guards," has lifted him well beyond the run-of-the-street crackpot Negro nationalist groups.

Tsuchiya expected to find the temple's 30 pate-shaven novices undergoing the most Spartan life imaginable, for Zen is the harshest branch of Buddhism, and Shofukuji itself has a reputation as one of Zen's most austere temples...
Setting a suggestively useful precedent for unhorsed Asian statesmen, ex-Premier U Nu of Burma, who recently turned over his governmental burdens to General Ne Win (TIME, Nov. 10), donned saffron robes, humbly appeared with shaven head for his ordination as a Buddhist priest in Rangoon...
