...value of immediate reply, rather than waiting for Washington to draft something official and late. He also became surprisingly adept at rounding up Asian and African votes on important showdowns. The U.S. never lost in either the Security Council or the General Assembly in a head-on clash with the Russians. Last year Lodge fell heir to a special test of diplomacy when he was assigned to be Khrushchev's official host on the celebrated tour...
...Salvador, the sunny republic on Central America's Pacific Coast where a handful of banking and coffee-planting families dominate a tightly packed population of 2,520,000, broke out last week in rioting and gunfire.

Once just a sleazy, rollicking seaport, Norfolk is now bigger and far busier than Virginia's capital city of Richmond. The U.S. Navy is the most important fact in Norfolk's life (indeed, the U.S. Government provides 40% of Norfolk's payroll)-but many of the city's citizens have never quite got over the feeling that for years prompted them to post "Dogs and Sailors Not Allowed" signs.
