...Closing Link. Four countries with 123 million people, reaching in an east-west chain from the Bosporus to the Himalayas (see map), are now-but for the formality of Iran's parliamentary approval-bound to come to each other's aid in the event of armed attack on any one of them. Between them, they have 50 standing divisions, some better than others, but all with a share of modern weapons. Through Turkey, on the west flank, they are linked with NATO; through Pakistan, on their east flank, they are linked with SEATO. Thus the Northern Tier completes...
...measure of the chain's value was Soviet Russia's vigorous pressure against Iran's joining. For months, Soviet diplomats worked above and below ground to keep the last link from closing. "As a good neighbor," a top Soviet diplomat warned Iran, "Russia is ready to settle all pending accounts with you without fuss, but there are certain evil hands which give you a dagger to injure her face. That you must not do." Russians wined and dined Iranian officials, offered free newsprint to neutralist newspapers. Premier Bulganin invited Shah Reza Pahlevi and his Queen to Moscow...
...gimlet eye is Sherman Adams, Assistant to the President of the U.S., who last week settled into his newly adjusted position as the link running between the President and the presidency.

...across lower Ohio in return for a land grant of 3 sq. mi.-a transaction authorized by Congress and executed by President George Washington (who owned vast tracts in eastern Ohio himself). Part of Zane's Trace became in time the National Road (now U.S. Highway 40), which linked the East with the wide-open Midwest and helped populate Ohio with a swarm of new settlers (250,000 in ten years alone). Last week, some 100 miles to the north, Ohio completed a new kind of link between East and Midwest: the 241-mile, $326 million Ohio Turnpike...
Perhaps the connecting link is the dilemma of becoming a perfect Centralist: everyone likes him, and thus he is successful--but success makes the Centralist different, and, therefore, not a Centralist. Harrington slowly uncovers this trap for Hingham, battering down athletes, public relations men, and psychiatrists in the process. It is a disturbing, but often amusing game...
