...unpredictability, the day of the Africans at the U.N. represented something new and as yet only half realized, something strong and, at bottom, hopeful. For long years, the cold war reduced the U.N. to stale factions divided by a kind of international discomfort-index into those who were proCommunist, antiCommunist, and those who hovered in between. But last week the mold was broken as the holdouts, with the new nations added to their ranks, suddenly became the U.N.'s biggest "bloc" and the U.N. took a startled new look at itself. What it saw was very nearly a portrait...
...government candidate, he inherited the archnationalist and Communist support that helped elect Kubitschek. He left Red-lining harangues to others on his team. For himself, he insisted that he was a practicing Roman Catholic and an unswerving, antiCommunist. He promised to continue building Brazil as Kubitschek has done, but avoided committing himself to the printing-press method of payment that Kubitschek has used...
...subsecretary, who is much closer to the Communists. Roa's problem is that he cannot live down the evidence of his earlier independence. A collection of his 1953-58 writings published last year under the title En Pie (Afoot) shows that until recently he was above all antiCommunist.

In the space for the National Bank president's signature, the new bills say simply "Che." (AntiCommunist Cubans put a small cross before the Che, making it cruz-Che, which pronounced rapidly sounds like Khrushchev.) When Che took over the bank, he found that its gold and dollar reserves were deposited in the U.S. He transferred them to Switzerland...
China Policy: Since the Roman Catholic Church is militantly antiCommunist, Kennedy feels that his Catholicism makes him pretty much immune to any suspicion of "softness" toward Communism. Accordingly, he can take the political risks of proposing to "bring the Chinese into the nuclear test ban talks at Geneva," declaring himself "wholly opposed" to any U.S. commitment to defend the Nationalist islands of Quemoy and Matsu. He also has Connecticut Congressman Chester Bowles as his principal foreign policy adviser. U.S. Ambassador to India under Harry Truman, and a conspicuous liberal, Bowles advocates a "two Chinas" policy (i.e., the U.S. should cease...
