...half years you have been in Managua I have not once said 'no' to you?" It was true. During those war years, I had made many requests of him at the instance of the Secretary of State. I would hand my friend Tacho a memorandum. He would read it, initial it and, smiling, hand it back, saying, "O.K., Jeemmy, send a copy to the Foreign Office." And so, by means of this short cut, Washington would often receive a reply to its telegraphic request the same day it was dispatched...
...warned Nehru's government that the Soviets may use economic penetration as a powerful political lever. U.S. industrial leaders have pointed out that India desperately needs $1.5 billion in foreign capital to push through her second five-year development program, and have added a pointed comment. In a memorandum released last week, the World Bank mission tempered praise for the young nation's "new buoyancy and hope" with a warning to the Indian government against its "negative and grudging attitude'' to legitimate investors. Cautioned the bank, which has lent India more than $200 million: "At this...
...government's monopoly suit against the International Boxing Club and Madison Square Garden, a U.S. attorney introduced a terse memorandum, penned in 1949 by the Garden's president (now board chairman), Brigadier General (ret.)

Top-ranking offender, said State in its properly diplomatic memorandum, was Arkady A. Sobolev, Russia's chief U.N. delegate. Sobolev could stay in the U.S. if he tended to his U.N. business, but the U.S. was firmly booting out of the country his two aides and principal agents in the redefection case, Aleksandr Guryanov and Nikolai Tuakin. When Zarubin had heard all this, he drew...
After the reporters, finished with their questions, had bolted for the door (see PRESS) the President went directly to his office, took a pencil and memorandum pad and went to work again on the statement he would make to the people. At noon he had a swim, half an hour's rest, lunch, and was back in his office at 2:30, only to find that it was overrun by radio and television technicians setting up for the speech that night. He took his note pad and a handful of pencils into the Cabinet Room and sat alone...
