...CRIMSON received its annual shipment of fortune cookies from Sinkiang Province yesterday with a Happy Chanukah note attached. Sifting through the crumbs, the editors found these messages for the coming year...
Racial hatreds plague all Asian nations, which present a vast, graduated racial spectrum, from the blonde ethnic Russians of bleak Sinkiang through the anthracite Tamils of India and Ceylon, whose daughters were of such black velvety loveliness that in World War II lonely American servicemen were wont to sigh, "I'd walk a mile for a Tamil." Now a new G.I. generation is entranced by Saigon's graceful Cochinchinoises but is surprised to find Asian girls just as sensitive to racial nuances as the snobbiest New Orleans debutante...

Some observers believe that, despite shortages of vital nickel and chromium, Red China, which already has some Soviet-designed, surface-to-surface rockets, might have a nuclear-tipped, 200-mile missile in two to three years...

Its burst of activity before the test must have been plainly visible to U-2s and perhaps to reconnaissance satellites orbiting overhead. If such activity still continues in the hostile Takla Makan, the Chinese are likely as Secretary Rusk announced last week, to shoot...
