...South Vietnamese government appointed as its delegate one General Ngo Dzu, who was fired last year for military incompetence and has been accused of corruption. Nonetheless, the four members did eventually meet to discuss the rate of American withdrawal and arrangements for prisoner exchanges. The commission is expected to deploy its 3,300-man force this week at seven regional centers and 26 local communities...
...world organization. At the height of the Suez crisis in '56, he dictated the first three pages of a plan for a special emergency force during lunch, had it completed before dinner. Over British and French vetoes in the Security Council and a Soviet offer to deploy its own troops, he managed to get it ratified by a majority of the General Assembly. U.N.E.F. was his most successful innovation. It served as the model for international forces in the Congo and Cyprus. It also more or less kept the lid on the Middle East for ten years...
...minister and his people. Costume is a basic way of preserving differences. Moreover, since the priest stood between the faithful and the altar, mostly with his back to the congregation, his full height was in view; this gave traditional vestment makers a large canvas over which to deploy their designs.

By Dutton's hopeful forecast, McGovern would get 13 million...
...Those who succeed will join huge reportorial staffs that bring suffocation coverage to any news event. Asahi has about 1,000 reporters and deskmen in its Tokyo office alone (v. 478 for the New York Times's headquarters staff), plus a fleet of 13 planes and helicopters to deploy them all over the country. Because Asahi prints as many as 139 editions round the clock and assigns specialists to virtually every aspect of each big story, there is enough work to keep everyone busy. All major papers send cadres to cover government offices and ministries...
