After all the tumult of Asia, Dwight Eisenhower stepped out of his special train onto an enormous red carpet in Paris' Gare de Lyon to a reception correct in its pomp but cool in the reserve visible in the face of Charles de Gaulle. Despite their old acquaintance and friendship, the Presidents of France and the U.S. were cast willy-nilly as antagonists in the bitterest conflict in the history of the ten-year-old Atlantic alliance...
...candidates bickered just as noisily. Zik suggested that Awolowo had the backing of British business interests with millions invested in Nigeria (correct: they distrust Zik).

They glumly conceded that he might even have planned the entire operation during his 1958 tour of duty in Washington. Last week this educated guess proved correct. The story was broken from Vienna by the New York Times's Correspondent A. M. Rosenthal, who was recently expelled from Poland (TIME, Nov. 23) for "probing" too deeply into Polish affairs and was now free to report what he had not felt free to file at the time...
