Blanket Coverage. To the New York Herald Tribune's rumpled, rotund Art Buchwald, 32, whose tongue-in-cheeky, Paris-based column (TIME, Sept. 16) is carried by 46 other U.S. papers and the Paris Trib, the portentous triviality of the questions offered an irresistible cue for lampoonery. In a question-and-answer column resembling the transcript of a real-life White House press conference, a presidential spokesman identified only as "Jim" started out by apologizing to reporters for arriving late from the Lido, a Paris cabaret famed for its comely, nude show girls.

Outwaving such ardent flag wavers as Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, the Sunday Dispatch (circ. 2,420,000) canceled its new, highly touted contract for a weekly column by Muggeridge. The BBC scheduled, then canceled, several TV shows on which Muggeridge might have had a chance to answer his critics.

AMERICA WILL CHANGE HER POLICY, said an eight-column head in Cairo's official newspaper Al Gumhuria. Other Egyptian papers burbled in delight over "indications" of a Washington turnabout. The U.S., it was reported, had resumed its Egyptian aid program, was again buying Egyptian cotton, had released $3,000,000 of Egypt's frozen funds, had agreed to a special shipment of Salk polio vaccine-was, in short, about to go all out for Nasser. "It's a great victory for Gamal," said a Cairo news vendor...
