...elderly schoolboy. "He doesn't like certain kinds of liberals," she said. "I welcome every kind of liberal . . . Perhaps we have something to learn from liberals that are younger." Flushing to his hairline, Truman managed to applaud politely. But, as usual, he had the last hot word. Next day before he flew back home to Missouri, Truman grandly assured attendant reporters that "there isn't any split. There aren't any liberals in the Democratic Party; they're all Democrats." Then, with magnificent illogic, he snapped: "But I am damned sure that they are not going...
...Independent Now." Next day De Gaulle arrived. Pausing en route in desert Mauritania-poorest of the Community's twelve states-he had answered his hosts' independence talk by saying: "You are independent now. The Community is going to change and develop, but we shall make the changes together...
Lewin, away from the Philippines when the order was issued, turned up briefly in other spots-gambling joints in Tokyo, in Guatemala City-but was determined to get back to Manila by hook or crook.

Into the town of Comodoro Rivadavia on the windswept Patagonian coast flew President Arturo Frondizi last week to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the day an Alsatian engineer, drilling for water, brought in the country's first paying oil well. What Frondizi saw, touring by open car, was a brash and bustling boom town (pop. 23,000) where the sprawling trailer camps are guyed by wire against the 75m.p.h. gales, where tricky tides buffet the three to four ships putting in daily at the busy port, where U.S., British, Dutch and Italian oilmen elbow up in nightclubs to watch...
