Eight green, tightly sealed, Russian-built trucks, driven by Chinese wearing surgical masks, rolled south into the U.N.'s white, neat reception center in Korea's demilitarized zone. A North Korean major, dapper in black boots and gold epaulets, shook hands with a U.S. major, stiffly announced: "We have 200 bodies; 193 of them are American remains, seven are unknown." The U.N. and the Communists had begun carrying out one of the armistice provisions-exchange of war dead...
...consult immediately." This was hardly a firm pledge, but at least it would give the U.S. (or other nations) an opportunity to step into such situations if they wished. SEATO's proposed boundaries would extend north to the 21° 30 min. parallel, thereby excluding Formosa from the zone of coalition defense...
...Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, a go-getting, kindly churchman who is used to fashionable Boston parishes but is also a pioneer fighter for Christian unity; tough old (74) Bishop Otto Dibelius of Germany's Evangelical Church, part of whose diocese is in the East zone and who has time and again defied the Communists; Archbishop Michael 62, head of the Greek Orthodox Church in North and South America, whose flock numbers some 6,500,000 communicants; Theologian John Baillie, 68, onetime Moderator of the Church of Scotland, a Highlander who is an authority on moral philosophy...

Fields are also wider than at home (65 yds. v. 53⅓), tempting offensive teams to try wide, sweeping, running plays...
...three downs to gain ten yards. Passes come fast and frequently as quarterbacks shoot for the distance. The ball changes hands so often that kicking takes on an exaggerated importance. Downfield, a punt receiver is allowed no fair catches, gets only the dubious protection of a five-yard safety zone until the ball is caught. Long run-backs, as a result, are few and far between. Hocus-Pocus. Despite the warm (70°) Toronto weather, last week's game was a satisfactory curtain raiser for the Canadian football season. Both teams cut loose with some of the spectacular football...
