Years later the anonymous author of this trenchant judgment announced his identity. It was Nehru himself. Today Nehru is very close to being Caesar. Critics complain that his Cabinet consists not of ministers but of courtiers like the mercurial former U.N. delegate Krishna Menon, who is almost as unpopular in India as in the U.S. They charge, too, that Nehru's personal interference in every detail of government has sapped the initiative of his subordinates and prevented the emergence of potential national leaders...

Arrogant Closure. The issue that shook the Liberals was the government's measure to advance up to $80 million to the U.S.-controlled Trans-Canada Pipe Lines, Ltd. to build a natural-gas pipeline from Alberta to eastern Canada (TIME, May 21).

Such talk is partly to prepare U.S. businessmen for an unpopular move, and partly to put much of the onus for the rise on the United Steelworkers, who are expected to demand a big wage increase, possibly as high as 60? an hour. Even if the Steelworkers get as much as 20? an hour, the union claims that it will cost the industry only an additional $4.00 per ton. While other costs are also climbing-iron ore is up 7.4% since July, railroad freight...
