...Daring Action. Last week's piece of Christian history began with a procession under the warm Indian sun. Two by two they strode, 1,000 strong, into a striped tent called a shamiana, and New Delhi's Hindus, Moslems, Jains and Buddhists gaped at their diversity. Archbishops and patriarchs, metropolitans and primates, bishops, canons, pastors and professors-capped, cassocked, bearded, bareheaded, in flowing robes or academic gowns, in business suits or sarongs-bodied forth the range and outreach of Christianity. Among them: Anglican Arthur Michael Ramsey, Presbyterian Eugene Carson Blake, Lutheran Franklin Clark Fry, German Evangelical Otto Dibelius...
Then he pumps up a tent, an umbrella, and a chair. He walks over to his car, pulls out a plug and psssssssss, the car deflates and shrinks until it is a speck on the sand. He pumps up a surfboard.

Last week the hope went glimmering. In a candy-striped tent on the Lik River, at meetings punctuated by toasts in champagne and burgundy, "Neutralist" Souvanna was selected Premier by two fellow princes, his Communist half brother Souphanouvong and the dispirited pro-Westerner, Boun Oum. Worse, it seems evident that U.S.-supported General Phoumi Nosavan will be fobbed off with a minor cabinet post-or with none at all. His Royal...
Elsa's British publisher visited the camp and awoke one morning to find himself pinned to his cot by the lioness, who nibbled affectionately at his face. Den Mother Adamson was severe: "I gave her such a beating that she sulkily left the tent." By this time the reader has become as fond as the author of this literary lion, and it is a sad thing to read, on the last page, that there will be no more books about Elsa. She died of a blood disease early this year (TIME...
