Other nations were less embarrassed about taking sides. Grateful for Pakistan's moral support in its dispute with Greece over Cyprus, Turkey lined up with its fellow Islamic state. Iran also supported Pakistan. In every Pakistani paper there were photo spreads of President Ayub Khan flanked on one side by the Shah of Iran and China's Chou Enlai, on the other by Indonesia's Sukarno and Turkey's President Güsel. "These are our friends," read the caption in one paper. "They support us," said another. So far, at least, the support has been...
Quavering Voice. When the British left India in 1947, it was commonly said that Pakistan got the military, and India the civil servants. The leaders of the two countries reflect the aphorism. Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan is a strapping six-footer who was educated at Sandhurst, fought valiantly in Burma in World War II. Before seizing control of his chaotic country in a bloodless military coup in 1958, Ayub Khan was commander in chief of Pakistan's army...

Uncertain just what was happening in the Chhamb area, U.S. military officers flew to the fighting scene to investigate the charges...
Post-mortem studies show that, with prompt detection and proper treatment, half of those who die of head injuries could have been saved. Lasting or delayed disability could be similarly reduced, reported Pakistani-born Dr. Ayub K. Ommaya, of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness at Bethesda, Md. Detection, however, is doubly difficult in the peculiar and treacherous kind of injury known as "whiplash"-the result of the sudden forward-and-backward snapping of the head that is common in rear-end auto accidents...
