...gallery of comic-strip characters-including Alley Oop, Little Orphan Annie, Prince Valiant and Dick Tracy-leaps onto the TV screen in song-and-dance routines, animated episodes and interviews with such cartoonists as Al Capp, Milton Caniff, Charles Schulz and Rube Goldberg. Carl Reiner is the host...
Modifications in policy are as subtle for France's President Charles de Gaulle as the erosion of an Alp. Thus grandeur watchers saw a significance of sorts in his presence as host at an official farewell luncheon for U.S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen, 63. While "France does not constantly approve" of American actions, De Gaulle said, getting in a few pro forma licks, the two nations could nevertheless still rely on their "capital of reciprocal interest, attraction and admiration." De Gaulle then intoned a toast to Bohlen, who is returning to Washington as Deputy Under Secretary of State...
...Peace Corps' has become an audible if not popular catch phrase. We do not bring to that discussion another far-reaching proposal fraught with basic difficulty, but two concrete suggestions.... Proud of the fact that PC/Ecuador pioneered in the hiring of staff members who are citizens of the host country," these Volunteers propose: (1) a Peace Corps advisory council composed of Ecuadorians, (2) more Ecuadorians in responsible staff positions. Micronesia has had a National Advisory Council since the inception of its Peace Corps program in 1966. Proposals such as these, now widely circulated to other countries, must indeed be implemented...
...there are in fact too many countries where Peace Corps is not yet considered to be of critical significance, and there will be "too many" until there is not one. We cannot rest with Cowan's suggestion that Peace Corps "offer (host country) citizens at least equal voice in the programming and execution of Peace Corps activities." If host countries do not see Peace Corps as merely a vehicle for implementation of their own programs, this organization, in a few short years, is dead. All papers related to the purpose and training of Volunteers are prepared cooperatively. It is presumptuous...
...last year, the Peace Corps significantly increased participation of host countries in training plans and programs, rapidly increased the number of training programs in host countries. Ecuadorian staff members have designed and supervised U.S. training of several groups of non-urban Volunteers. A group of teachers trained entirely in Ghana last summer. The increased relevance of in-country training is marked; the reduction of skepticism and distrust by nationals is substantial. This year, perhaps half of all Volunteers will be at least partly trained in-country; in 1969, the great majority. The Peace Corps has now largely gained the insights...
