...South Vietnamese officials were naive enough to believe that the tide had yet turned in the overall battle. Political instability is still rife in Saigon, where last week a brief mutiny threatened Admiral Chung Tan Cang, boss of the South Vietnamese navy, and set the capital aquiver with coup rumors. The mutiny died away, but no sparks are ever totally extinguished in Saigon. And for all the government success on the ground, Hanoi, with its great reserves of manpower and stubbornness, still calls the final shots from the north...
...dumped after the Bay of Pigs disaster, McCone has steadily and quietly rebuilt confidence in the CIA and its sensitive role. Under his direction, the agency's performance in alerting Washington to the Russian missile buildup in Cuba in the fall of 1962 was flawless.

They could have been bolder, for after they fell from orbit, the government was still in the hands of Khrushchev's colorless successors, Premier Aleksei Kosygin and First Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev...
...Morgue. The growing disorder of Farouk's personal life and the corruption and mismanagement of his government led to the 1952 coup d'état by a group of army officers headed by Major General Mohammed Naguib, who was later displaced by Gamal Abdel Nasser. Deposed, Farouk sailed off on his royal yacht and was said to have arrived at Naples in tears...
