Contrite Candor. Mentioned in another AID scandal was Max M. Kampelman, 47, a Washington lawyer who served as Humphrey's legislative assistant for six years and is still regarded as a close political confidant of the Vice President's.

...contritely candid performance last week before the House Government Operations Subcommittee, Gaud pleaded mea culpa for AID's foulups.

Cuba's Fidel Castro is not sending anyone because he bristles at Moscow's conservative line in Latin America. Among the Asian parties that are staying away are the Japanese, who are hoping for a rapprochement between their party and China. Revisionist Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia...
...authors then document the North's aid to and control of the Viet Cong and conclude that it is a war of aggression to which the U.S. may respond. But even if it were only an internal conflict within South Viet Nam, Hull and Novogrod report that accepted international law says that any country, if asked, may aid the existing government; no country may aid the insurgent. "Admittedly," say the authors, "existing law favors the established government. Admittedly too, at a time when many areas of the world are attempting to break the shackles of colonialism, this result...
