...prime reason for this optimism is that all of a sudden it seems as though a Harvard basketball team is taking pride in its performance. This is especially noticeable when watching the team play defense.

The "success" of the Wall in sealing the borders of the Soviet zone, declared Khrushchev, no longer made "the conclusion of a peace treaty the same problem as it was before Aug. 13."

The neutrals' solution delighted the Chinese, for it set up a demilitarized zone along the Himalayan frontier and actually gave Red China more territory in India than it had occupied before its sudden invasion last October...
