...lonely stretch of road six miles from Tunis, assassins poured a stream of bullets at a man driving past. Next morning his body was found, crushed and unrecognizable. The authorities identified him as the most formidable Tunisian nationalist leader still at liberty in the land: Farhat Hached, 39-year-old head of the 100,000-strong General Union of Tunisian Workers...
...Tunisian case is only the second major political matter to reach the floor of the General Assembly in two months of its current session. The first was Korea. After endless corridor-dickering and com ma-placing, the General Assembly last week voted out, 53 to 5, the Indian resolution (TIME, Dec. 1).

The U.S., divided between its desire to please an ally and its sentimental aversion...
...last month, said a French delegate, he had been asked to treat a bull suffering from "a hopeless case of sterility." After the bull got the needles, he went charging off in pursuit of four cows. And, said the puncturist, two of the cows are already in calf. A Tunisian specialist reported the case of a man, aged 30, suffering from depression, pains in the legs and sexual debility. He got one gold needle in the left chest (at point chungju) and in the back (at kaopang), and half an hour later headed home to his harem with a confident...
