...Communist party, the biggest in the West with 1,500,000 members, had protested the August occupation of Czechoslovakia; last week's meeting quickly developed into a forum in which the Russians were reproached anew in some of the most forceful language ever used against them. Longo main tained that "the authority of the Czecho slovak leaders is a precious patrimony for all their people, for all Socialist countries, for all men in the world who believe in socialism and struggle for it." Rumanian Delegate Paul Niculescu-Mizil insisted that the Russians "lacked any justification" for their actions against...
...lower house elections, Thanom and the regime's strongman, Interior Minister Praphas Charusathien, who is also Deputy Premier and army commander, constructed their own political organization, the United Thai People's Party.

Volcker, the Treasury's new Under Secretary for Monetary Affairs, "is to regain control over inflation."

Thinking that marriage would settle him down, as well as pay his debts, he wed a Mos cow beauty 13 years his junior. "My hun dred and thirteenth love," he called her - a very modest estimate. Ironically, Pushkin's wife became a favorite at the Czar's court, and her flagrant flirtations threw him into fits of jealousy. Finally he challenged the boldest of her courtiers, the French-born Baron Georges...
