Special Alliance. In Brazil, the last and greatest nation on his tour, De Gaulle had waxed loftier and more Delphic than ever. He spoke of the traditional bonds between the two countries, and then, alluding to some dark and distant Armageddon, cried: "I greet the Brazilian army as the ally, if need be, of the French forces, whatever may befall us. There will always be between us, I am sure, a special alliance." There were more immediate matters to discuss. The Brazilians having promised to compensate the former French owners of the Sāo Paulo-Rio Grande railroad nationalized...
...week's end the Brazilian police arrested two men and were searching for a third, who is the prime murder suspect. No one in Syria was surprised to learn that the man wanted is a young Druze tribesman and a member of the Ghazali clan named Nawaf Abu Ghazali.

Although the Vatican has yet to provide a snack bar serving fish on Fridays, the American-Israel pavilion caters to Jewish dietary laws with kosher frankfurters and kosher Kola...
...names sounded strange in a Brazilian courtroom: Chu Cheng-tung, Ho Fa-tsung, Wang Wei-cheng, Su Tse-ping. The charge against them was "conspiracy against the regime, envisaging the implantation of Chinese Communism in Brazil," and it was well documented. The Red Chinese "journalists" and "trade promoters"-nine in all-had been arrested in Rio during last April's anti-Communist revolution. In their apartment and hidden in a Jeep, the cops found $100,000 in cash, plus enough letters and papers to prove that the Chinese and their Brazilian leftist friends were deep in a campaign...
