Dymond hurriedly said that the problem was a result of "local misunderstanding"; the pilots would indeed continue to take such tests-or else lose their licenses. Still, the telegram served to dramatize the pilots' union feud with General Quesada's administration: a feud based principally on the fact that in his 13 months as boss of civilian and military air operation, tough, dedicated Pete Quesada (TIME, July 6) has cracked down mercilessly...

As late as the 17th century, a member of the House of Commons seen talking to a foreign diplomat might lose his seat. If such distrust lingers today, it is probably because a great many governments and their representatives still practice what Louis XI of France advised his ambassadors in the 15th century: "If they lie to you, see to it you lie much more to them...
