...like a spokesman for a group that had already rejected his right to do so. With the exception of Ghana's Nkrumah (who suggested that perhaps the U.N. should have three deputy Secretary-Generals), no one showed even faint enthusiasm for the Soviet plan to reorganize Hammarskjold out of a job. Khrushchev's airy claim that he and Tito had "fully" patched up their longstanding quarrel was belied by his own implicit admission that, in fact, they had not come to terms on i) their deep ideological differences, 2) Khrushchev's plan to get rid of Hammarskjold...
...week, Macmillan rose in the General Assembly to outline his proposal for new technical studies of disarmament problems. His speech was a masterful display of the British parliamentary manner, inflicting heavy damage on an opponent in the kindliest possible manner.

Generally, his sympathies lie with Britain and with the U.S., which he visited in 1955 to study the water flow of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in connection with a planned dam of his own on the Niger. He will make his second U.S. trip this week, leading...
...portraitist, Karsh readily discusses his favorite portraits-his Helen Keller, Hemingway, and Hammarskjold, besides the famous Churchill-but declines to nominate his best in the conviction that he has not yet taken it. "Perhaps," he says, "tomorrow...
