...remarked. "I can only conclude that the man who writes the speeches is still the same"). While Nixon took on special presidential commissions and presided over the Cabinet in the days of Ike's illnesses. Lodge carefully steered the U.S. and the West through U.N. world tempests from Indo-China to Budapest to Suez. Nixon's tough, unflinching "kitchen conference" with Nikita Khrushchev in Moscow last summer was matched by Lodge's assignment as Khrushchev's official companion during his U.S. tour. (Khrushchev's favorite cry: "Where's my capitalist?") Both men have learned...
Apparently, France learned a hard lesson from its disastrous experience in Indo-China. Unlike Belgium, which never even allowed an election in the Congo until two and a half years ago, France has been systematically preparing her African territories for independence. Since the end of World War II, French African states have had elected assemblies responsible for the machinery of local government.

Thanks to Reporter White's enterprise, the coverage TIME got of the fateful events in Algiers was uncommonly early and informed. Chief of the bureau since 1954, Wisconsin-born Frank White, veteran of wartime service as an officer in Indo-China, speaks fluent French, has drawn on his wideranging acquaintance with eminent Frenchmen to provide TIME with raw material on such cover subjects as right-wing Demagogue Pierre Poujade (TIME, March 19, 1956) and Charles de Gaulle (TIME, Jan. 5, 1959 and May 26, 1958). An old North African hand, he was able to judge last week...
...dealing with Dulles' role in the Suez crisis-were still to come, most U.S. and British officials last week tactfully avoided comment on the memoirs. A notable exception was Dwight Eisenhower who at his weekly press conference declared that "there was never any plan [for military intervention in Indo-China] developed to be put into execution." The President tempered his denial by adding that Eden was "not an irresponsible person" and undoubtedly was "writing the story as he believes...
