...Communists get an innocent assist from a fact of international life: in sensitive, prideful nations the cost in political irritation over foreign bases can come to outweigh the military advantage. In the wake of the Japanese rioting over the U.S. Security Treaty (which guarantees U.S. bases for a minimum of ten years), India's Prime Minister Nehru last week denounced foreign bases as an "irritating symbol of foreign power and a reminder of war." Columnist Walter Lippmann, citing Japan, held that the forward-base system had become "increasingly unworkable" since the Soviets developed a nuclear striking force. "There...
...Eisenhower and Premier Kishi said-the hand of organized Communism. In forcing Japan to cancel the President's visit, it administered a stinging slap to U.S. pride and prestige. No Red propaganda victory in years had so served to humiliate a President of the U.S. Coming in the wake of the U-2 dust-up and Nikita Khrushchev's party-line attack on Eisenhower at the summit, it was-as Moscow and Peking intended it to be-a blow to the U.S. image. Allies were apprehensive because the U.S. had allowed itself to get in such...
...really much harder to swallow than Moliere's convention that all husbands are cuckolds, or Homer's that all heroes above the rank of lieutenant colonel enjoy godly guidance -Robinson's book is entertaining enough.

...force of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was 8.3, and that of the worst quake on record, the one in Assam, India, in 1950, was 8.7. -In the wake of the seismic wave, the Philippines' main island of Luzon was swamped by an 18-hour downpour caused by Tropical Storm Lucille. In the floods that followed, 108 were drowned and 150 were missing...
...Stroking steadily over the Charles River, Harvard's powerful crew skimmed the mile-and-three-quarter course in 8:43.4 to set a new course record. Left in the Crimson's wake: Rutgers, Wisconsin, M.I.T. and Boston University. ¶ Unheeding of the raw wind and rain at last week's Penn Relays, High Jumper John Thomas, 19, loped toward the barrier, kicked high, sailed over the bar to set a world's outdoor record of 7 ft. 1½ in. The previous mark of 7 ft. 1 in. was set by Russian High Jumper Yuri Stepanov...
