...Karachi, Chou got red-carpet treatment, though his name was misspelled "Chau" on a welcoming banner. He had a long and private talk with Ayub Khan, and a formal dinner at the President's floodlit house. Next day a Pakistani spokesman said the discussions had concerned the "tense and delicate situation prevailing in Southeast Asia, with special reference to Viet Nam." Pakistan hoped that "all nations, large and small, Asian and non-Asian, will play their role in bringing tranquillity and peace to that unfortunate country that has seen warfare for over two decades." Ayub was clearly enjoying...
...moodo did not please everyone. Students in Seoul denounced the treaty as "a sellout of the country." Opposition parties expressed fear that normal relations would "bring Korea again under Japan's economic and political domination." In Tokyo, South Koreans paraded under a banner reading, "Don't sell our fatherland for cheap money."

It is usually more like it was at Harvard the other night. "Well, another day shot to shingles...

Mexico's President Diaz Ordaz recently set a new tone by declaring: "We need and welcome private capital." In the light of anti-inflation measures in Brazil, the World Bank, in which the U.S. has the greatest stake, has agreed to lend money to that country...
