Ayub was strongly seconded by his Foreign Minister, Mohammed Ali. Speaking "in anguish, not anger," Ali told the National Assembly that "in the national interest we shall make friends-whoever is interested to accept our hand. If friends let us down, we shall not consider them as friends. Friends that stand by us, we will stand by." He did not have to look far for new friends. From Peking came an offer from Chou En-lai for a nonaggression pact between Red China and Pakistan, as well as an invitation to Ali to visit the Chinese capital to discuss arbitration...
Baggs is the most individual of the bunch. He is a Southerner by birth, son of a well-to-do Atlanta Ford dealer, but his convictions know no geography.

Not that Renoir had an easy time; at the beginning of his career his paintings were ridiculed along with those of other impressionists, and at the end of it he was twisted by a rheumatic paralysis that made each brush stroke an effort of will. What was so unusual about Renoir was the grace with which he bore...
...Eden but which your age thought its own realistic photograph. After the first few years, his poetry existed undersea, thousands of feet below that deluge of exegesis, explication, source-writing, scholarship and criticism that overwhelmed it. And yet how bravely and personally it survived . . . plainly human, full of human anguish...
