...mildest New Statesman rebuke. In Britain, it is relished or reviled with equal fervor. Wrote Irish Author Sean O'Faolain: "It is the British bible of every washed-up Liberal, soured Conservative, lapsed Catholic, half-baked grammar-school intellectual, and every other unhappy misfit, pink and pacifist, whose sole prophylactic against despair, if not suicide, is a weekly injection of Kingsley Martin's Bottled Bellyache...
...agreed to pay half the cost of a round trip tourist flight ticket from Teheran to New York so that an outstanding Iranian economist, Mr. Khoddad Farmanfarmaian, could attend 20th Century Week. They have paid the cost of transportation of a Persian, not an Arab. This is their sole contribution to the Program. They had no influence whatsoever on the selection of invited guests.

Ogilvie, sole survivor of a Justice Department investigative group ostentatiously set up in 1958 to combat Chicago crime, checked with 3,500 local tavern owners, discovered that not one of them had ever seen Tony come around, at least to sell any beer...
...Africa's Guinea, technicians from Peking are helping improve the rice yield. Cuban generals in Havana talk weapons and tactics with Chinese army officers. In backward Yemen, 2,000 Red coolies labor in the sweltering heat on a new highway for the Imam. No longer is Russia the sole voice or representation of Communism to the outside world. China's Mao Tse-tung is intent on showing the undecided, the needy and the restless that Russia is not the only Communist power that can offer aid and comfort...
