Civil Rights. The burden of the civil rights fight falls more on the presidency than Congress. "The next President must exert the great moral and educational force of his office to help bring equal access to public facilities, from churches to lunch counters, and to support the right of every American to stand up for his rights, even if on occasion he must sit down for them. For only the President, not the Senate and not the House and not the Supreme Court, can create the understanding and tolerance necessary as the spokesman for all the American people...
...Soviet Union's top African expert, Professor Ivan Potekhin. Top Soviet diplomatic talent was rushed to Africa, including Middle East Ace Daniel Solod, who is Moscow's Ambassador to Guinea, and hard-driving Ambassador to Congo Mikhail Yakovlev, whose clever footwork has gained him seemingly unrestricted access to Patrice Lumumba's office.

The Attorney General...
...Nazi military engineers in Spain to do the job. Last week, after the blast, Betancourt also implicated an old enemy: Dominican Republic Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. The bombing was no amateur blast. It was set off by remote control, showing a technical skill with explosives. The plotters also had access to minute information about Betancourt's movements. Laid low by gall bladder trouble for a week before the Armed Forces Day celebration, Betancourt did not decide until the night before the ceremony that he would attend...
