Matter of Persuasion. Brotherhood is perhaps too strong a term yet in a land made up of 250 bickering tribal groups speaking as many languages, with little in common but mutual suspicion and jealousy. But it is an achievement in itself that a unified Nigeria is getting its independence and seems ready for it. Only a decade ago, a rising young politician from the north named Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was threatening a Moslem holy war against the southerners rather than join them in one independent nation.

Nothing that simple was going to satisfy Castro-planting the suspicion that his whole maneuver had been planned earlier. Even before he checked in at the Shelburne, his agents had begun negotiations with the Hotel Theresa, "the Waldorf-Astoria of Harlem." While the bearded Cuban was bending Hammarskjold's ear, one of his men turned up at the Theresa delivering $840 in cash-one day's rent for an assorted selection of the Theresa's rooms.

But in the populous industrial states that he needs most of all-New York (35% Catholic), New Jersey (43%), Pennsylvania (31%), Illinois (33%), Michigan (24%), Ohio (21%), Wisconsin (32%)-Kennedy stands a good chance of winning, if he can solidify the Democratic Catholic...
Western economists have looked with suspicion on Nikita Khrushchev's juggling of statistics to prove that the Soviet economy is fast overhauling the U.S. Last week their suspicions were confirmed by an unexpected source: Soviet Economist Stanislav Gustavovich Strumilin...
