...Security Council resolution on Kashmir (TIME, Feb. 4) was the last straw. With one voice Britons of every political coloration last week proclaimed their disillusionment with Moralist Nehru. "It is shameful to remember that India is still a member of the Commonwealth," said the conservative weekly Time and Tide. "Willful stubbornness," snapped the Liberal News Chronicle. Even Nehru's favorite British publication, the shocking-pink New Statesman and Nation, abandoned its usual faithful praise of everything Indian to warn Nehru that he had "gravely impaired his influence in the world...
...outposts of frightened men in a teeming darkness of shadowy figures and shadowy hate. One such guard tower was a central factor in Graham Greene's Quiet American, a semi-novel purporting to display the hopeless struggle of French colonialism to save the truncated country from the onrushing tide of the Communist Viet Minh. As late as two years ago, touring Columnist Joseph Alsop pronounced South Viet Nam doomed.

...into the great American tragedy of Gettysburg, the most compelling is the failure of Robert E. Lee.

Argued the Democrats: the tide-turning absentee votes cast by civilians before that specified election were illegal. Four justices heard the argument; the fifth, Thomas H. Roberts, disqualified himself for ample reason: he is the governor's brother. On inauguration afternoon, the court-"a tribunal," as the Providence Evening Bulletin once put it, "whose present...
...Betrayal. According to the story vouched for in Britain's Time & Tide by reputable Hungarians now in exile, Kadar conveyed to Rajk the promise of Party Boss Matyas Rakosi that, if he made a confession of Titoist tendencies in court, his life would be spared. Rajk confessed-only to be shot anyway. When Kadar protested the betrayal, Rakosi, who is credited with a macabre sense of humor, reportedly played back a tape recording of the conversations between Kadar and his executed friend, to show that it incriminated both. Some time later Kadar himself was arrested by Rakosi...
