Aphrodite, goddess of love, is said to have first set foot on solid ground at Cyprus, but obviously she has not visited her favorite island in recent years. Last week hate again ruled Cyprus as an eruption of the old feud between Turk and Greek caused an estimated 200 casualties.

...Chou declared that Ben Bella was in favor of another "Bandung," though it was not entirely clear just how enthusiastic Ben Bella felt on the subject.

All the while, Lacerda was blistering Jânio Quadros, then governor of Sāo Paulo, whom he called "a paranoiac," "a delirious virtuoso of felony," "the Brazilian version of Adolf Hitler." The two called off the feud long enough to cooperate in the 1960 elections, Quadros winning the presidency and Lacerda the Guanabara governorship. No sooner was Quadros in office, however, than Lacerda was at him again, ripping Quadros for his left-leaning foreign policy and accusing him of attempting to set up a dictatorship. Most Brazilians...
