...Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy, entered the Vatican diplomatic service in 1938 as secretary of the papal nunciature in Guatemala. He is no stranger to the U.S., having spent seven years in Washington during the '40s as a secretary and auditor at the apostolic delegation. He also served as chargé d'affaires in India and nuncio to Haiti, and since 1956 has discharged his functions as apostolic delegate in anticlerical Mexico with cautious tact. The white-thatched Raimondi is described by acquaintances as "a liberal who knows his limitations," and "a likable man who wants to be liked...
...strained relations with the U.S. In this he was partially successful, since Washington was by no means reluctant; and he was instrumental in getting both countries to agree to elevate their legations to embassies. The State Department knew in January of Radványi's promotion from chargé d'affaires to ambassador, one of his fondest dreams; Washington had only to announce its own ambassadorial appointment to Budapest to make it official...
Ominous Ultimatum. No one knew whether Peking had actually instigated the initial flare-up, or whether it had been started by overzealous local Communists.

...losing their traditional grip. The incumbent king is a corpulent pederast who splashes in a gold-plated bathtub while his people eat mice and provide entertainment for the sadistic secret police. His army and his oilfields are controlled by the British, but the British legate is a bumfembedded chargé, and his aides are tired old faggots and redbrick rejects. The Russians infiltrate, the colonels plot, the inevitable coup transpires in a scarlet smear of violence. The story falters in its final pages, but Mossman never relents his graceful ridicule ("The Russian delegation in their square-rigged tunics and striped...
