...JANA SANGH PARTY commands only four seats in the Lok Sabha. but has a growing strength based on its virulent anti-Moslem, antiminority appeal. Jana Sangh's Hindu reactionaries would restrict the rights of Moslems, Christians and untouchables ; they would forbid cow slaughter all over India. Jana Sangh is confident that it can win many Congress voters away from their party. "Scratch a Congressman and you find a Jan Sanghi," says a party leader. But the party is strongly opposed by many Hindus who disapprove of its fanaticism...
...slaughter went on day after day in Algeria. At Oran, Europeans machine-gunned a grocery, killing three Moslems; retaliating, Moslems ambushed a car, killing four Europeans. In Bōne, Europeans placed flowers at the spot where a 16-year-old boy had been killed while putting up S.A.O. posters. As the week's toll climbed from 20 to 30 to 40, the authorities advanced the curfew from 9 o'clock to 7, rushed police and troop reinforcements to Algiers. French police claimed to have arrested 106 European "extremists," including five "killers." A police raid on a villa...

Some hunters claim that a Belchen is edible-if it is marinated for two weeks in buttermilk and roasted with chestnuts...
...Form. Indignant bird fanciers conjure up new plans each year for halting the Belchenschlacht (Belchen slaughter) that stretches from November through February. But each year the hunters return. When Swiss and German S.P.C.A. members staged a protest meeting, angry hunters bombarded them with birdshot. So far, the hapless Belchen's only hope is fog. On both the Swiss and German sides of Lake Constance, Belchen hunting in the fog is prohibited: a stray shot might nick a hunter, and this would be considered bad form, even for a Belchenjagd...
...case, after the re-emergence, at least eating will be a cinch. If you are a farmer, all you have to do, the book says, is go out to the barn and slaughter a cow. As everybody knows, cows are extremely sensitive to "nuclear weapons" and upon perceiving a detonation, immediately go into a two-week-long state of suspended animation. Fortunately, therefore, neither milking nor feeding is necessary during this period...
