...deranged but derisive. He was protesting the use of $52,018 in last year's anti-poverty program to give 480 needy teen-agers from Gary, Ind., a preview of potential occupations ranging, according to a Government handout, "from trucking to choreography and from graphic arts to oil refining." Still pirouetting as he addressed an imaginary teen-age audience, Dirksen cried: "You may be allergic to ballet dancing, or driving a truck, or operating a filling station, but have a look anyway. Be fascinated just to look at work." Even the pas de Dirksen failed to enlist support against...

Said Sir Giles: "The government will ensure that financially we will be in no worse a position as a result of taking on these aircraft." That was rather negative assurance. Hard-pressed BOAC announced...
Concord Squadron. Though Zanzibar is still a member of the British Commonwealth, the council has turned unabashedly to the Communists for economic aid. Babu has lined up a $500,000 cash handout from Red China, with promises of Chinese credits to come. In exchange for 500 tons of cloves (world market price: around $800 a ton), the Soviet freighter Faisabad recently delivered 50 trucks to Zanzibar. After dark, the Faisabad unloaded a more dangerous Soviet cargo: small arms and artillery, complete with a band of "technicians," to train Zanzibar's new Youth Army in their...
