...even as the war heated up, the political ferment in Saigon was calming down. Tensions were eased by the departure of Lieut. General Tran Thien Khiem, the professional coup plotter and former member of South Viet Nam's ruling triumvirate who went into exile last week. Ousted by Premier Khanh in response to the wishes of Air Commodore Nguyen Cao Ky and his clique of young officers, Khiem departed Saigon at midweek. It was a lachrymose leavetaking. Tears gleamed in the eyes of General Duong Van ("Big") Minh as he bussed Khiem on both cheeks, and Khiem himself...
Keeping the Promise. Lieut. Colonel Michael Smolen, 44, deputy chief of the U.S. Air Force mission in Venezuela, lives in the Bello Monte section of Caracas, only four blocks from where Colonel James K. Chenault was kidnaped last year. Ever since then, occasional threats have promised another kidnaping, and one afternoon last week Smolen was specifically fingered. To be on the safe side, Mission Chief Colonel Henry Choate, 47, came by the next morning to give him a lift to work. Even so, the kidnaping took only 20 seconds. As Smolen was walking to Choate...

General Tran Thien Khiem, long a friend of Khanh and the man who planned and executed both the coup against Ngo Dinh Diem last November and Khanh's coup against General Duong Van ("Big") Minh in January. With a shrug, Khanh accepted the demands and promptly announced that Khiem would depart immediately for Paris and a protracted tour of countries aiding South Viet Nam in its war against the Viet Cong. Khanh hoped this further accommodation might still the noisy protests of his critics...
Last week two toddlers in Charleston, S.C., owed their prompt recoveries and probably their lives to the fact that young doctors remembered having read during the past year of a new and highly effective, but still experimental, treatment for iron poisoning. Lieut. Commander Lawrence G. Thorne, 31, was on duty at Charleston's U.S. Naval Hospital when two-year-old Michael V. Tate, son of a radarman, was brought in critically ill after swallowing from 30 to 60 of his mother's iron pills. Dr. Thorne quickly ordered blood transfusions and put the child on EDTA, a chemical...
