There he has been lolling for a month with his $19,200-a-year "administrative assistant," Corrine Huff, who was Miss Ohio in the 1960 Miss U.S.A. contest. When he tires of his one-bedroom villa, Powell rests up by fishing for barracuda and wahoo from his 31-ft. yacht, Adam's Fancy, playing dominoes with the natives, sipping Cutty Sark-and-milk, and philosophizing in typical Powell-ese.

First, the charismatic commander of the neutralist army, General Kong Le, flew off to Thailand in a huff when three of his colonels challenged his right to give the orders. He was already unpopular because of three "dragon's eggs" given him by a superstitious peasant. Draconic rage at their theft supposedly brought floods down upon the land (TIME, Oct. 21), so his rest cure in Bangkok for what he called a "sprained arm" was likely to be lengthy. Then came a rebellion of royalist air force officers...
...reverse," he said, reassuring the white liberals in the N.A.A.C.P. that they were needed, after all. Lillian Smith, author of Killers of the Dream and one of CORE's charter members, summarized the feelings of many white members of SNCC and CORE when she left the organization in a huff of epithets: "nihilists, old-fashioned haters, the new 'killers of the dream...
