...Degree of Worry. Was a U.N. summit session doomed to be held in a cave of winds, reverberating with propaganda and with each side eager only to put the other in the dock, and to stay out of the dock itself? The West might be prepared to come to terms with Pan-Arabism, but knew no way and had no desire to come to terms with a Nasserism founded on anti-Westernism, buoyed up by Soviet arms, spreading inflammatory lies, preaching assassination. The British might warn Khrushchev, as Anthony Eden in a moment of crisis did once before, that British...
...Moscow's police station 88 picked up his telephone, was astounded to find himself talking to a British newspaper man who grilled him in perfect Russian. Moscow's cops chatted amiably but guardedly with Zorza -particularly after he confided piously that his capitalist boss might dock him for wasting a call.

The mystery of the yachts soon focused down on Miami Dock Owner Harold E. Manning, who explained that for some time he had been in the business of stocking, chartering and selling yachts that well-heeled Miamians had given to the CAP as a tax dodge. Under prevailing tax rates, an upper-bracket yacht owner can often save more...
Suspended from his job, Zind went on trial last week, accused under ancient statutes prohibiting public approval of crimes or slandering the memory of the dead. In the dock Zind denied nothing, and arrogantly announced that if Germany did not want him, a teaching job awaited him in Egypt. After three days of testimony and six hours of deliberation, the three judges and two lay jurors brought in their verdict: guilty; one year in jail. "Zind's words rip open the old, barely healed wounds of the German people," declared Presiding Judge Johannes Eckert. "What thousands have tried...
