THE WEEK

On October 22, the Wall Street Journal reported the escape to Hong Kong of a Chinese student who had criticized the Communist regime. “I got out without my engineering diploma,” he explained, “but with a B. W. [brainwashing] degree.” On that same day Mr. Harrison Salisbury of the New York Times came across a coffee house in Warsaw called “The Hundred Flowers.” The name, he explained, was “an allusion to China’s policy of letting diverse ideas contend.” Mr. Salisbury is obviously bucking for ah Honorary B. W.

Note on how to stop inflation (from the front page of the New York Times): “Fifty thousand workers in New York factories making women’s coats and suits yesterday won wage increases averaging 15 cents an hour. . . . Manufacturers said sales tags would probably go up about 7 per cent.”
