Nevertheless, further U.S. assistance to Pakistan hung in the balance last week. The reason dates back to 1962, when the U.S. first began pumping military assistance to Pakistan's old enemy India, which faced invasion across the Himalayas by Red China. Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan, already interested in the nonalignment game, found U.S. aid to India reason to move more swiftly onto a path of warmer relations with Peking, and more recently, Moscow. Ayub's government-controlled press has also been a consistent critic of U.S. policy in Viet Nam, which no doubt influenced President...
...explained French Perfume Queen Hélène Rochas after her My Fair Lady ball in the Bois de Boulogne. A bit! Mme. Rochas herself wore $250,000 worth of diamonds to decorate her egret-plumed Guy Laroche gown. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Begum Aga Khan, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford and all the other jet-set guests showed up in ascots, ostrich feathers and grey top hats.

Malaysia's Tunku Abdul Rahman - recipient of British arms and advice in his battle with Indonesia - feared that the team might "reward aggression...
...Genghis Khan is another chapter in the history of the world, as hacked out by some of the planet's best-paid specialists at turning mountains into molehills. This droll biography casts Omar Sharif as the greedy Mongol conqueror, and suggests that his greed was all for the good. In his youth, cruelly confined by his enemies to a doughnut-shaped yoke, the future Khan keeps his eye upon the whole of Asia, plus adjacent territories. He dreams idealistically not of sacking, plundering, pillaging and rape, but of a large barbarian Camelot in which every man will...
...charge of comedy relief is Kam Ling (James Mason), sporting almond eyes, malocclusion and a washee-quickee accent. As befits a ham, Kam Ling is sliced up just before a lively duel to the death between Jamuga and Genghis. Hordes of loyal Mongol mourners think the great Khan's demise untimely-and well they might, since the real Genghis lived to be 65, and died...
