...aide, Jonathan Daniels, editor of the Raleigh (N.C.) News and Observer, whose father Josephus had been Roosevelt's boss as Secretary of the Navy, makes this claim in his new book The Time Between the Wars. The story of the romance is not exactly new. Columnist Westbrook Pegler insinuatingly linked F.D.R. with Lucy in the 1940s as part of his vendetta against the Roosevelts. In The Crisis of the Old Order, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote that "Eleanor may have sensed something" about her husband's "friendly affection" for Lucy, whom Schlesinger described as "a sweet, womanly person, somewhat...
...most Westerners, the Berlin Wall is a brutal monument to Communism's need to imprison its subjects. Not to Walter Ulbricht. Last week East Germany's Red boss, after studiously ignoring the first four anniversaries of the ugly barrier that divides the city, openly celebrated its fifth birthday with a speech that made one wonder why he had not erected it years before.

But he was no ordinary military bureaucrat. A hearty and high-living bachelor, Kuntze (Annapolis '42) was a wheeler-dealer with a hand in so many U.S. activities that he proudly called himself "the American mayor of Saigon...
...Commando-were behind the mutiny, he fired off angry charges to Brussels and sent Premier Leonard Mulamba to Stanleyville to calm the mutineers. At week's end, Mulamba reported from the rebellious city that the mercenaries were not involved in the mutiny. But 6th Commando Boss Robert Denard, a magnificently mustachioed Frenchman who served Tshombe in the secession, was on the scene, and no one could say for certain that Mulamba's disclaimer had not been uttered at mercenary gun point. Tshombe, who Mobutu believes is behind the uprising, was keeping ominously quiet in his exile refuge somewhere...
