...Beretta .25); wouldn't be caught dead, when he skindives after a killer, in anything but the very latest scuba suit. What's more, he is a cooking kook who cares more for his belly than he does for Britain-the sort of waiter baiter who considers himself a gourmet because he speaks menu French and probably reads the food page in Playboy.

...known U.S. alumni in Ghana, for example, the only West baiter is Lincoln University Alumnus ('39) President Kwame Nkrumah-although he may outweigh the others. More typical are such friendly U.S. alumni as India's Under Secretary for External Affairs, the director of the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission, Colombia's Minister of Mines, and Venezuela's Minister of Finance. What seems significant is the Argentine pattern of students who leave for the U.S. as rabid anti-Yankees, return emphatically...
