...Bella's government crowed that the turnout was 85%, not much below the figure last year when the electorate ratified Ben Bella as President. But Western observers, who found general apathy and indifference, felt that 60% would be closer to the truth. Indeed a cautious Ben Bella had forgone the usual pre-election mass meetings and rallies for fear that they might be lacking in enthusiasm and crowds, had confined the campaign to small neighborhood gatherings. Algiers' polling places were almost empty on election-day afternoon, though the official radio said they were kept open late "because...
...peoples is hardly novel; some of the darkest pages of Western history are stained with papal interventions. Your diagnosis of the encyclical [Aug. 21] was brilliantly acute and accurate-a series of ambivalences dominated by the word "but." But in each ambivalence, the final and decisive alternative is negative, cautious, conservative, in the literal sense reactionary, and above all authoritarian...
...with its ill-starred Electra turboprop airliners, which eventually cost $25 million to modify and were largely responsible for driving the company $43 million into the red in 1960.

...same time, Nikita was taking a cautious step toward improved relations with his old enemies, the West Germans. To that end, he sent his son-in-law, Izvestia Editor Aleksei Adzhu-bei, swinging through West Germany on an ostensibly "private" journalistic tour. But when Adzhubei got to Bonn, it became clear that he was traveling on something more than an ordinary press pass. In a private talk with Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, the Russian guest revealed his real mission: to arrange a visit to West Germany for Father-in-Law Nikita...
