...Last week India officially protested the Rao incident and, as after all the other incidents, the Federation government made official apologies. It further promised that, under a new Immunities and Privileges Act, Asian diplomats will receive a special permit entitling them to order a cup of tea without being thrown out of the tearoom. Indian newspapers fumed that the Federation permit "is in itself an act of racial discrimination. No self-respecting country can allow its envoys to go about demanding civilized treatment on the strength of such chits of paper." Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru himself seemed equally unsatisfied...

...made mistakes. In Indonesia, judging from the chaos that now reigns there, the U.S. may well have thrown its weight on the side of independence too soon; in Algeria it is arguable that out of deference to France the U.S. has held its hand too long. By refusal even to discuss eventual re-establishment of Japanese civil government in strategic Okinawa, the Pentagon has needlessly fed Asian distrust...

...style seemed more surely dead and buried than Art Nouveau, the turn-of-the-century vogue for flowing, whirling motifs and gingerbread gewgaws. Thrown out by cubist artists who viewed such effulgent detail as a bad case of artistic warts, and banned by the stripped-down school of Bauhaus modern architects, the movement that once spread across Europe and to the U.S. had been dormant for decades.

...onward with his nuclear-energy speech, wearing a wintry smile and, progressively, two ripe tomatoes, a ghoulish facial paste of flour and eggs, wreaths of toilet paper and, finally, foamy spray from a battery of fire extinguishers. Among the other casualties: a photographer kayoed by a huge cabbage featly thrown, a constable hurled through a plate-glass window, four exuberant students collared for what a magistrate called "sheer hooliganism." After the riot ended, Rector Butler headed back for tranquil old London, uttered nary a noise of complaint...
