Brooks, a specialist in nuclear power and solid state physics, is in England this year conducting research as a Guggenheim Fellow at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge...
Called from his studies by World War I, Macmillan served gallantly in the Grenadier Guards, was wounded three times. After the war he served long enough as aide to the Duke of Devonshire, then Canada's Governor General, to meet and marry his daughter. Lady Dorothy Cavendish. Through his marriage, Macmillan acquired links with one of the few remaining great families which (as left-wing politicians like to say) "control the Tory Party." His wife's brother married a sister of Lord Salisbury, a member of the great Cecil family who have been advisers and ministers to Britain...
...shortage of hands, the A.P. sent George Boultwood from its Bonn bureau to Budapest to join its resident man, Endre Marton. Boultwood took along his 17-year-old son George Peter, who was soon filing his own byline stories from the Hungarian capital. The U.P.'s Anthony J.

His present mission: to make a new stab at reducing tensions...
North Africa. Assigned to Rabat, capital of newly free Morocco as the first U.S. ambassador: Cavendish Welles Cannon, 61, onetime schoolteacher, longtime Foreign Service careerman and specialist on the Balkans and Middle East, since 1953 U.S. Ambassador to Greece. Shy, hard-working Cavendish Cannon will have plenty to do at Rabat. In prospect for the U.S. are tough negotiations with Morocco over the future of four major U.S. bomber bases. Another delicate problem: Morocco is being courted by 1) Egypt to join its "neutralist" sphere of influence, 2) Iraq, worried by Egyptian expansionism, to link up with the pro-Western...
