Pint-sized (5 ft. ¼ in.) Tally Palmer has long been known as a fighter. As consular officer in Leopoldville during the turbulent months that followed Congolese independence in 1960, she showed up time and again to save U.S. officials and newsmen from Congolese mobs.

Toward week's end it became obvious that such an approach was not going to work, and Rogers approved a tough U.S. reply to Moscow's protest. The U.S. note complained of the consular treaty violations and made it clear that the U.S. saw "no justification for any further delay" in the officers' release...
