...announced by the Rockefeller-endowed Philippine foundation named for the late President Ramon Magsaysay: $10,000 to India's gentle, bearded Vinoba Bhave (TIME, May 11, 1953), for community leadership. A dhoti-clad disciple of Mohandas Gandhi, Ascetic Bhave seven years ago set out walking the land to talk landowners into giving 50 million acres free to landless families, so far has collected some 7,000,000 acres, 2,500 entire villages. Said the citation: "He has sought nothing for himself, least of all recognition of his achievements, and has won the highest respect of his countrymen...
...Sponsor Lipton's tea-derives from the widespread belief that Paar permits off-color humor. On the whole the charge is unjust.

I said, 'Can you talk about these things?' She said she wanted to be a cook, a creative cook. That's not believable. A good-looking girl with a build wants to be a cook? The audience would think she was lying, that I was lying. It would destroy the naturalness of the show...
...accrediting associations. Two years ago several of the fund-starved colleges pooled their problems (TIME, March 5, 1956), formed the Council for the Advancement of Small Colleges. Last week, at Michigan State University (which, with 20,500 students and unquestioned accreditation, is not a member), the council gathered to talk of progress-in tones loud enough, they hoped, to be heard by the great philanthropists...
