...TIME tracked down men who had bargained with him from Hong Kong to Marseille, ranging from U.S. ambassadors to Germans who dealt with him during the days of the Hitler-Stalin pact. One of the directors of Rome's Armenian Pontifical College insists that Armenians everywhere, Communist or antiCommunist, generally admire him as a "man with a head on his shoulders." Diplomats, defectors, Russian specialists in ten capitals from Bonn to Beirut, and Chicago businessmen who met Mikoyan on his 1936 U.S. trip-all were interviewed for the cover story; see FOREIGN NEWS, The Survivor...
...Asians. Put simply, Diem is still taking U.S. money by the millions ($197 million last year), but less and less U.S. advice. One example of this was a decision not even to use the phrase "antiCommunism" in any speeches in Thailand. Diem remains a Roman Catholic and a staunch antiCommunist, but he has become convinced that Communism is best fought in Asian terms, and from a non-Western base. The next stop, as Diem sees it (and as he hopes to convince other Southeast Asian leaders), is the creation of such a base through a revival and reappraisal of Asian...
Saragat, a staunch antiCommunist, who is not satisfied that Nenni has really broken with Moscow, managed to resist the pressure until last week. Then, seizing on the behind-scenes maneuvers of Italy's President Giovanni Gronchi (who not long ago outraged the Segni Cabinet by proposing to send a neutralist letter to Ike), Saragat suddenly charged that within the Christian Democratic Party itself there were forces guilty of "silent hostility" to Segni's pro-Western foreign policy.

...back to Jordan, began lining up Bedouin sheiks to sway the Bedouin troops, who comprise nearly half the Jordanian army. He gave them gifts, obtained jobs for sheiks' sons. To offset the proCommunists' control of the street mobs, he approached leaders of the fanatically anti-Western (and antiCommunist) Moslem Brotherhood, and his agents supplied black market weapons bought with Saudi money. Often the young King drove out for secret, late-night meetings with chosen leaders on lonely roads outside Amman. Hussein picked Zerka for his showdown because a crack Bedouin regiment was stationed there and the Moslem Brotherhood...
Even in the absence of Shaath's testimony, however, no one in Beirut had any doubt as to who was behind Jedid's murder. In the two years since he fled to Beirut as a political refugee, Ghassan Jedid, fanatic antiCommunist, had spent his time laying the groundwork for a revolt against the Communist-infiltrated clique which Colonel Abdel Hamid Serraj (TIME, Jan. 14) has led to power in Syria. Shortly after Jedid's arrival in Lebanon a Syrian court sentenced him to death in absentia for his alleged complicity in the assassination of a Serraj colleague...
