To both Pakistan and India, which are still smarting over suspension of U.S. aid programs as a result of their border war over Kashmir, Humphrey bore good, if modest, tidings. After conferring with Pakistan's President Ayub Khan, Humphrey announced a new $50 million loan. When he saw India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, he was able to promise a $100 million loan...

...inherit the earth," he grumbles. His adversary is a German, Hardy Kruger, a small humorless cipher whose knowledge of aerodynamics puts everyone's fate in his hands, and well he knows it. Richard Attenborough is flawless as a stuttering, alcoholic navigator, rivaled by Ian Bannen as a bore abristle with saving wit, and Peter Finch as an officer whose code of honor consists mostly of suicidal gestures...
