...Champagne!" cried joyous guests in Oslo's Continental Hotel. Staid brokers on the stock exchange floor whooped happily. At last the socialist Labor Party was out of power after 30 years of nearly continuous rule. Out with Labor went tall, spare Einar Gerhardsen, 68, the Grand Old Man of Norwegian socialism and the country's Premier for as long as almost anybody could remember...

India's Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri (TIME cover, Aug. 13) is poles apart from Ayub Khan, physically, emotionally and personally. Scarcely 5 ft. tall, with a clerkish mien and a gentle, self-deprecating voice, the wonder is that Shastri ever became the head of the world's largest democratic state. But Shastri's meekness is deceptive, and, in Pakistani opinion at least, he is a determined, wily and resilient opponent...

Except for daily briefings by India's army chief of staff, tall, mustached General Joyanto N. Chaudhuri, Shastri stays aloof from the war.

West Pakistan, an arid, sprawling land much like the American Southwest, is inhabited by 45 million tall, hardy, light-complexioned Pathans, Sindhis, and Punjabis, who dominate the government and the army. East Pakistan is small, waterlogged, and congested with a population of 55 million short, dark-complexioned Bengalis, who are usually protesting that they are ignored by the national government. In the west, Urdu is the dominant...

...seeks out the glass blower he feels particularly suited to the work. "We drink a glass of wine and talk," he says, "then another glass of wine and talk some more." Costantini selects the colors, and the tortuous work of blowing and shaping begins. For Ernst's tall, reddish-brown Poet, topped by a sharp-beaked head with a hole for an eye, the glassworker at some stages had the equivalent of a 100-lb. weight at the end of his long metal blowpipe. Le Corbusier's amber Bucrane went through 26 failures, costing about...
