Kibitzers' Drumfire. As Wang and Beam made their moves-stopping after each one to consult their superiors in Peking and Washington-kibitzers round the world kept up a drumfire of advice, exhortation and complaint (see cartoon). Keenly aware that the only bargaining counter which the U.S. had to offer was a change in the status of the offshore islands, Chinese Nationalist leaders regarded the Warsaw talks with undisguised alarm and despondency. In Taipei Nationalist Premier Chen Cheng implicitly warned the U.S. that his country would not be a party to any such bargain. Said Chen: "We will defend Quemoy...
...happened before, Khrushchev's cocky impetuosity had got him into trouble.

Adel Osseyran, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, protested to the U.N. against Chamoun's failure to consult Deputies before calling for U.S. help. One pro-Western Deputy said that 40 of the 66 members of parliament were opposed to the U.S. landing. Chamoun's opponents threatened to boycott the parliamentary election of his successor, scheduled for this week...
...left, he thoughtfully put aside funds-things are like that in Thailand-for Berrigan to keep going until he could scrape together enough money to buy control of the World for himself. Today Berrigan is such a national institution that diplomats phone him openly for guidance, and Thai officials consult him on politics- foreign and domestic. What is more, by his wit and wits, Editor Berrigan has turned his World into one of the genuinely cultured pearls of the East...
