...Britain's best-known soldiers, the proud possessor of eleven battle wounds and many more decorations for valor, a lanky Oxonian who lost his left eye battling dervishes in Somaliland, and his left hand during a grenade charge at Ypres in 1915, and became Churchill's military envoy to Chiang Kai-shek in World War II; in Killinardrish, Ireland...
Admiral Anderson has many Portuguese friends, made during numerous visits when he was commander of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean from 1959 to 1961.

Before NATO's 15-member Permanent Council in Paris, President Kennedy's special envoy, Livingston Merchant, proposed creation of a multinational nuclear deterrent consisting of a fleet of surface ships equipped with the U.S. Polaris missile. Key provision of the plan is that the ships would be "multi-manned," i.e., their crews would be drawn from every NATO nation that would be willing to help...
