Finally, Alaska's Senator Ernest Gruening, one of the most vocal critics of Administration policy in Viet Nam, delivered a furious speech in the Senate: "Unhappily, the U.S. press has been gravely derelict in reporting what has transpired in the OAS with regard to the Dominican crisis. Commentators express doubts regarding the wisdom of expanding our mission to prevent a Communist takeover. Many reports question the extent of Communist infiltration. Yet, to my knowledge, none of the major wire services, newspapers or radio-television systems have taken the trouble to examine the findings of the OAS investigating team...
Harold Wilson's apparent turnabout on the subject of total nationalization, however, struck doctrinaire socialists as anything but fair play. Furious at the concession offered Wyatt, three militant Labor left-wingers, Ian Mikardo, Michael Foot and Tom Driberg, called for an urgent party meeting to "get some clarification" on the real intentions of Harold Wilson...
...sento owners reckoned without the furious public. PEOPLE FLARE UP IN ANGER, screamed the banner headline in Tokyo's largest daily Yomiuri Shimbun; it reported that irate callers were jamming the paper's switchboard with threats to smash sento windows and protests that "They are infringing on basic human rights!"

...sure, the C.S.U. delegates gave him an overwhelming mandate, 643 out of 705 ballots. But that was because Strauss's fellow C.S.U. leaders did not want to rock the boat in an election year. Privately, they are furious with him over his continuing feud with Hamburg's Spiegel. The fault is not entirely his. Spiegel's publisher, Rudolf Augstein, worried that a good C.S.U. showing next fall might land the former Defense Minister back in the Cabinet, has hammered ceaselessly at Strauss's alleged "corruption" in office, until Strauss retaliated last summer with a libel suit...
