...embarrassed by Japanese nationals who speak no English; newly arrived Japanese, in turn, are wary of L.A.'s native sansei (third generation) and yonsei (fourth).

Sociologist Harry Kitona: "They regard the Koreans as the Mortimer Snerds of America. They cannot learn the language, their food smells and they cannot express themselves." In a city with half a dozen major "Oriental" communities, national distinctions seem magnified, perhaps because these uneasy ethnic cousins have been thrown together as never before...

The tenacity of able U.S. Ambassador Edmund Gullion in Leopoldville helped bring Katanga's stubborn Moise Tshombe and Central Congolese Premier Cyrille Adoula together in a pact at Kitona (TIME, Dec. 29). Now the problem was to enforce the pact, and to bring Tshombe's secessionist province back into a unified Congo.

...obviously planned to try; already he was grumbling about Gullion's intervention, even though Tshombe himself originally requested it. And hardly had .the wily Moise returned to Elisabethville when he declared that he had "not found anything" at Kitona. In any case, said Moise, "I am only the mouthpiece of my people. It is for them to decide"-adding darkly, "The accord we have reached has to be ratified by my ministers and by the National Assembly [ Katanga's legislature], and that cannot be done for at least ten days...
