Empty Pipelines. For G.M. the damage had been done. Under pressure from Labor Secretary Goldberg (see cover), the toilet-time issue was quickly compromised: G.M. agreed to guarantee enough relief workers to spell each man for his 24 minutes, and Reuther dropped a demand for an extra 15 minutes relief time. By week's end, local agreements had been signed between G.M. and 72 of the striking locals...
...Japan, which like Britain must live on its foreign trade, increasing imports and decreasing exports ultimately spell economic disaster. Last week came news that the nation's foreign-exchange reserves had dropped more than $100 million in August alone, will have shrunk from $2 billion to $1.4 billion by the end of fiscal 1961. Frantically, Masamichi Yamagiwa, Governor of the Bank of Japan, called for import curbs and a substantial rise in Japan's already high 6.9% bank rate, to discourage businessmen from borrowing expansion capital...
India's Prime Minister Pandit Nehru is not the first man to get bogged down in the morass of pacts, protocols, aides-memoire, memorandums and verbal understandings that spell out Western rights in Berlin. Nehru is merely the latest prominent person to take a reading-and to add confusion to the crisis.

...wide with lighting that can pinpoint one face in the darkness or illuminate an acre of land. The hybrid Longfellow narrative comes out of loudspeakers while the actors pantomime, but even without dialogue, the leading role is so strenuous that fresh Hiawathas are sent in like substitute halfbacks to spell the panting starter. Their hero slays the "wary roebuck," sears the wild West Wind, hunts down "monsters and magicians," wendigoes and kenabeeks. Skillfully J-stroking his canoe back and forth across the great sea water of an old stone quarry, he shoots mighty arrows at serpents made from inner tubes...
...Church Control. That might spell grief, but New College has advantages. One is debonair Philip H. Hiss, 51, a prosperous Sarasota real estate man and now chairman of New College's board of trustees. A jack-of-all-arts who never went beyond prep school (Choate), Hiss satisfied his itch to be an architect by designing his own Sarasota home, a $200,000 waterfront edifice of ceramic brick and blue aluminum. In 1953, appalled at the state of Sarasota schools, Hiss wound up as the first Republican elected to the school board since Reconstruction days. Result: a Hiss-bred...
