...leader of one of the world's most religious peoples; he is a socialist with a built-in antipathy to capitalism, but most of his governing colleagues are conservative businessmen; often so irritable that he will explode with anger at a misplaced teacup, Nehru endured more than ten years of imprisonment by the British with equanimity and aplomb...
...tried, on occasion, to translate into action his vague and intensely personal theories about socialism, e.g., his plan to spread farm cooperatives across the land.

Like thousands of other 17-year-olds, Marie Martin and Dave Newby sweated through a College Board exam last week. Unlike most of the others, they were delightfully distant from their high schools in Illinois and Ohio. Ten miles east of the dark mountains of Communist China, Marie and Dave pondered answers in a classroom near Hong Kong. It was another fringe benefit in the maiden voyage of the International School of America, creation of Karl G. Jaeger, a budding (29) industrialist turned teacher. Tuition: $4,650 (including air fare...
