Last week that work got a start when the President signed into law the brand-new U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and named William Chapman Foster, 64, as its director. Set up as a semi-autonomous agency, operating out of the State Department building, ACADA has long been a pet Kennedy project.

His questions: "Does the Soviet government really intend to take up the power policy pursued by the imperialists...
...little cactus-covered volcanic rock island of Ustica, off the northern coast of Sicily, was the scene last week of the 3rd International Underwater Convention, drawing 500 flipper-snapping, snorkel-bearing aquaphiles. The convention marked the emergence of a brand-new tourist resort, for until two years ago, Ustica existed almost entirely as a prison island; now Italian tourist agencies and promoters have dubbed it the "Underwater Capital of the World," are busy publicizing it as the new Capri...
