Strategic Strait. Whether or not anyone buys the theory of collusion with China, eyebrows in the West rose at news of the surprise visit to Djakarta in November by Red Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi. Last week, while Russia was among those trying to head off Indonesia's U.N. walkout, Peking applauded it, ridiculing the world organization as "a vile place for a few powers to share the spoils." In any case, the objectives of Sukarno and Mao Tse-tung on Malaysia clearly converge: both want the downfall of its pro-West regime-a prospect that holds grave political...
Khrushchev's successors have picked up where Nikita left off. To Ankara last week came the first Russian parliamentary delegation in 31 years to visit Turkey, headed by the Presidium's prestigious Nikolai Podgorny.

Crisscrossing the country for eight concerts, Perlman drew rapturous reviews: "heavenly, beautiful," "already a master," "in the front row of the very few great violinists of our day." Said Michal Smoira, critic for Tel Aviv's Haaretz...
Such lines are poetry only by courtesy; they justify Robert Graves's sardonic gibe: "What I like most about Eliot is that though one of his two hearts, the poetic one, has died and been given a separate funeral . . . he continues to visit the grave wistfully, and lay flowers on it." But Eliot could still strike off at will his unique amalgam of silver and sudden brimstone...
