...White House aide put it, was intended to "accelerate strategy." Officially neutral, the U.S. at first had seemed to lean to Imbert's junta. With the arrival of the Bundy mission, the U.S. started working toward a coalition headed by a onetime Bosch Cabinet member whose main qualification was that he had said he was antiCommunist (see THE HEMISPHERE...
...Communist propaganda apparatus is busy nowadays with intramural squabbling between the Russians and Chinese, but its main purpose remains: to discredit the free world, through ideological friends and dupes as well as through agents. It enlists a network of ostensibly independent papers, stoops to clumsy but temporarily harassing forgeries usually purported to be U.S. documents showing American diplomats engaged in subversion of neutralist governments. It can spark ventures like the protest movement against the execution in 1953 of the convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were able to claim in one of their last petitions that "never have more...
...Tiger & the Ducks. The main theme of De Gaulle's speeches was equally familiar and equally effective: "Our destiny is called national prosperity."

This one, according to Premier Phan Huy Quat, was instigated by the same group of dissident Catholic army officers who engineered the abortive coup d'état of Feb. 19-an upheaval that failed in its main purpose, but ultimately led to the ouster of goateed General Nguyen Khanh.

Less believable was the government charge that two Viet Cong battalions were standing in the wings, ready to move into Saigon during the confusion that certainly would have followed...
Widened Horizon. The artery disorders for which DeBakey and his colleagues have devised ever more daring surgical procedures fall into two main classes: blockages and aneurysms. Blockages may be almost anywhere-in the greatest vessel of all, the aorta, in the coronary arteries embedded in the heart wall itself, in arteries leading to the legs, and in the carotid and vertebral vessels carrying blood to the brain (see diagram, opposite page). The brain itself, however, is the province of the neurosurgeons...
