...with letters of complaint about inadequate housing and consumer goods shortages. To his open anger, Khrushchev also discovered that the local commissars had dressed up their normally bare shopwindows especially for his visit. Last week, hard on the heels of Nikita's arrival in Moscow, a decree went out for a 42% increase in the value of consumer goods output by 1961. Among the items to be stepped up: television sets, sewing machines, refrigerators, bicycles, electric irons-and lampshades "to match the best foreign samples...
Nehru first announced the Chinese border incursions. After hustling back to India for a top-level party meeting, Ghosh flew off to Peking to beg Mao Tse-tung to be less brutal. Unsuccessful in Peking, Ghosh went back to Moscow to plead for help there, and last week completed his circle tour by scurrying home to New Delhi to try to hold the party together.

...Manufacturers Trust Company, with its dignified vice president and two uniformed guards, turned out to be hollow; the bank had guarded the questions all right, but had only the word of the producers that no one else had seen them. But the implications of the quiz scandals last week went far beyond the guilt or innocence of any individual show or contestant, including Charles Van Doren (who reappeared after a long, lost weekend in New England, accepted a subpoena to testify when the Washington hearings resume Nov. 2). Growing recognition of the networks' irresponsibility (notably their willingness...
