...Truth was that it was too early for congratulations. The U.S. delegation had gone to Paris with some misconceptions about the temper of the rest of the NATO allies. In Washington shortly before leaving, Secretary of State Dulles had made it plain that he was counting on hard and fast acceptance of the U.S. plan to establish missile bases in Europe. Said he: "I don't favor these so-called agreements in principle." He had apparently given little weight to the talk of new East-West negotiations that had swept Europe in the wake of Russian Premier Bulganin...

And I'd keep on preaching it if I had to preach on the sidewalk...
...little slow in school, and for his slowness he was often caned, but he had a wonderful "aura"-the multicolored emanation that Theosophists saw gleaming about each other. Krishnamurti displayed big black eyes and a set of irrefutable (because unstatable) notions of a vaguely ethical tinge; e.g., "Truth being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized." He lived on vegetables, and on the front page, and the wonder is that he managed to preserve a sort of dignity amid the spiritual circus that Theosophists created about...
