...Britain's so-called Angry Young Men are already half forgotten, their own limitations are the principal cause, but they have been given a forceful, added shove toward oblivion by the work of a new writer whose themes are quieter and deeper. Already hailed in London as one of the major playwrights of the decade, 31-year-old Harold Pinter has come to Manhattan with The Caretaker (TIME, Oct. 13), the biggest serious hit of the new season...

Next month they shove off for two years of digging wells, building roads and schools in remote mountain villages...
...approved (10-7) Kennedy proposals to bypass annual congressional authorization for foreign aid, and to borrow $8.8 billion from the Treasury for a five-year program. The committee authorized nearly everything the President wanted in the way of funds this year; its tremendous influence on Capitol Hill likely will shove the foreign-aid bill neatly through both houses. With the big bill for foreign aid and another big vote for defense coming up, Jack Kennedy was just as glad to be rid of the expensive and controversial school-aid legislation that almost certainly would not have passed anyhow...
