...Babu," and Moscow-trained Vice President Kassim Hanga. Solidly supported by a cadre of younger Marxists, Babu and Hanga now control half of the Revolutionary Council, can usually work their will and twist any issue simply by crying "colonialism." They were able to replace Treasury Secretary Herbert Hawker, a Briton, with an East German Communist "adviser." When the remaining Britons leave this month, other East Germans, as well as Russian and Red Chinese officials, will move into their jobs...
Back in 1955, a handout-hopeful Briton wrote the wife of Massachusetts' junior U.S. Senator complaining about the amounts that the Kennedys spent "frivolously." "Your letter has made me most unhappy," replied Jacqueline Kennedy. "How wonderful it would be if this were a world where ?7,000 or $20,000 were merely to me the sum spent on an evening party, as you put it-if that were true, I would give what I could to enable you to start a new life."

As one Briton dryly put it: "The U.S. has a surplus of wheat-we have a surplus of buses...
...hesitant and plainly inadequate move in that direction is represented by the multilateral force (MLF), a clumsy concept loved by no soldier, which foresees a boat in some distant sea with a Russia-aimed bomb on board. At the throttle is a German and at the rudder a Briton. Luxembourgeois, Belgians and Dutchmen run the galley, and a Frenchman (if he can be enticed on board at all) is topside yelling "to port" while an Italian beside him shouts "to starboard." Use of the Bomb itself would happen only on U.S. orders. To Gaullists, U.S. insistence on a seaborne...
