...Nehru, showed signs of distress-and the Indian public showed far more. "Mr. Nehru's India," declared London's Economist, "may be emerging from the age of innocence. In later years, the Republic of India may look back upon this month as its moment of truth...
...Western rejoicing. Soviet control of strategic Iraq would be a disastrously high price to pay for the education of Nasser-even if his new understanding should prove genuine and lasting. And the education of the Asian neutrals was being paid for in Tibetan blood. But if the moment of truth had, in fact, come for the "uncommitted" Afro-Asian nations, Communist imperialism might be in for tougher times in the years ahead...

Milder cases result in folly, credulity, superstition, plain silliness. Men of science have resisted progress with the mindless tenacity of Bourbons. Distinguished experts, including members of the famed French Academy, have on occasion "proved" that there are no such things as meteors and hypnosis; they have shown conclusively that man can never fly, that steamboats and railways will not work, and that the idea of laying undersea cables is preposterous...
