...moves as sure-footed as ever through an intricate plot. Fiddlersburg, a town in Tennessee, is about to disappear under the waters of a federal dam; its citizens are thus caught at a time when they are most inclined to be articulate about themselves. Preachers, philosophers and local grotesques abound. But although Fiddlersburg has been condemned to death, the sentence does not (Samuel Johnson to the contrary) result in wonderfully concentrating its collective mind.

Indonesia, which stubbornly fights the new Federation of Malaysia, a Colombo partner, on the ground that it is a front for British "neocolonialism," used the Bangkok conference to snap insults at the new state. Cambodia's petulant, neutralist Prince Norodom Sihanouk boycotted the conference because of his antagonism to the host country, strongly anti-Communist Thailand; he also announced that he wanted no more U.S. aid, would kick out all U.S. military advisers...
