...pronouncements on the Far East is that Free Asians have come to read it as a forerunner of retreat. This is understandable: U.S. ambiguity about its plans in Korea was followed by stalemate and armistice, in Indo-China by retreat, and in the Tachens by evacuation. Today, even a hint of further retreat seriously demoralizes those Asian political leaders who have crawled out on a limb to support U.S. policy. For example, in the politically sensitive Philippines, President Ramon Magsaysay last month summoned all his prestige to fight through the Philippine Senate a resolution backing the U.S. stand on Formosa...
...impetuous young man, had quit his palace once before to get what he wanted: more independence from the French. He had kept his latest surprise all to himself: 48 hours before his abdication, he had lunched with visiting U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and gave no hint of his plans...
...radio sets and cutting them into the British network, but he was never able to warn London. After the invasion he was packed off to Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

The Russian censors, swamped by the flood of words, let many a piece of copy slip through which ordinarily might have been spiked; e.g., A.P. reported: "Muscovites questioned at random appeared bored at the news. 'What difference does...
...Brady brothers, who have worked on and off as contract drillers for oil companies, got their first hint of Mexican sulphur 15 years ago when Ashton picked up a 1904 Shell Oil Co. exploration report. It told of salt domes on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a geological formation that often indicates sulphur. It took six years before they could prove their hunch. Starting to drill near San Cristóbal in 1942, they were slowed down by the war, by an unfriendly and suspicious local population, even by the malaria-filled jungle itself, where torrential rains turn everything into...
