...Small. As the week began, the uncommitted scarcely realized how important they had become. Then Nikita Khrushchev strode to the podium to roar Dag Hammarskjold into submission. Hammarskjold, cried Khrushchev, had tried to justify "the bloody crimes perpetrated against the Congolese people by the colonialists and their stooges. It is not proper for a man who has flouted elementary justice to hold such an important post as that of Secretary-General." Khrushchev demanded that Hammarskjold "muster up enough courage to resign...
...figurative arm around everyone in sight, from Nehru to Sukarno, and whirled into and out of receptions given by half a dozen small countries. His most bewildering display was at a big shindig in the Soviet Union's Park Avenue mansion, where Khrushchev greeted an astonished Dag Hammarskjold with an affectionate bear hug.

While the usually impassive Dag Hammarskjold smiled down from his seat a few feet above the rostrum, Khrushchev flailed the air with a clenched fist and shouted that Hammarskjold was "a creature of the imperialists." A few moments later, in a lightning transition, he labeled Spain's Generalissimo Francisco Franco "the hangman...
Abubakar has developed both prestige and confidence in office, and although he still pays respect to his old boss, the Sardauna, he acts with complete independence on policy matters. Pledged to join no power bloc, Sir Abubakar is clearly antiCommunist, is known to support Dag Hammarskjold's policy in the Congo. Generally, his sympathies lie with Britain and with the U.S., which he visited in 1955 to study the water flow of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in connection with a planned dam of his own on the Niger. He will make his second U.S. trip this week, leading...
