...agreements with Hungary and Bulgaria may help salve several irritants. Hungarians privately insist that the fate of József Cardinal Mindszenty, who became the chief cause of contention between the two countries when he was granted asylum in the U.S. legation during the 1956 Hungarian revolution, no longer interests them-though a 24-hour watch is maintained just in case he should decide to step outside. With Bulgaria, the major issue is Sofia's stubborn insistence on remaining the only European country that still jams Voice of America broadcasts...
...Student Union. The Union is nominally under the control of the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC), yet this group had not granted ROTC permission to set up the table. Moreover, the administration's rules forbade all such tables in the Union, and students were quick to insist that if ROTC could set one up, so could anyone else...

In religion...
Like most diplomats. Brown has more than enough opportunities to bend an elbow-and he can prove irrepressible when doing so. His friends insist, however, that tales of his tippling are exaggerated by the British press, and that his unorthodox ways and occasional rudeness of manner are small prices to pay for the integrity and insight with which he tackles his job. Brown is awed by few people, not even by the royal family. When he encountered Princess Margaret at a recent party greeting other ladies with regal little kisses, he asked if he could have one too.
