Troubled Blueprint. The Middle Eastern Frontiersmen, who are rated by Westerners as extremely able but inexperienced, face huge stacks of trouble. From Cairo, Nasser keeps up a stream of anti-Hussein invective, accusing the King and his new Premier of being imperialist pawns and even of secretly encouraging Israeli ambitions. As a result of the end of the Arab-Israeli fighting in 1949, Jordan increased its population by about two-thirds; all of the new citizens are Palestinian Arabs, many of them refugees who feel no loyalty either to Hussein or to Jordan. Little Jordan (pop. 1,600,000) gets...
...ingenious diplomacy, the effect of Punta del Este has been, if anything, divisive. Dr. Castro has not penetrated South America by means of his currency and rep-resentatives; his principal value to the Latin American Left has been symbolic.

While some of our unimaginative, vituperative detractors maintain that because we are 'capitalist' we are therefore inevitably 'imperialist,' I would assert from my recent experience that our sense of 'mission' springs rather from a feeling of responsibility and generous interest in world order; and toward this end, in the development of mutual trust and the encouragement of human liberty and well being. We are seriously devoted to the advance and development of emerging regions of the world...
...immediate strategy. At a Djakarta reception next night, he cried dramatically: "They tried to kill me." Aides left no doubt that by "they" Sukarno meant the Dutch, although no one knows who actually planted the grenade. Communist China's Chou En-lai sent Sukarno a message condemning "imperialist ruffians." Khrushchev sent a "sincerely rejoicing" cable on the President's survival...
