...spatter of trouble briefly threatened to mar the shining anti-Communist surface of the eight-nation South East Asia Treaty Organization.* Pakistan's Mozaffar Ali Khan Qizil-bash briskly demanded more U.S. aid, implied that his country might turn to the Soviet Union if its demands were not met. He warned: "Distinction must be made between friends and those who sit on the fence. While the latter are the recipients of large-scale aid from both Communist and Western countries, the former have to depend on their allies alone." More moderately, the Philippines' President Carlos Garcia and Thailand...
...like other plausible-sounding French proposals. Gaillard's pact met many problems but not the crucial one, the status of Algeria. Tunisia and Morocco need help to keep their unbalanced economies viable, and in the past have shown willingness to accept that aid from France.

At many other festivals and in countless solo appearances around the world, the U.S. will display an impressive roster of artists. Among them...
...compared to a subhuman being. Such is the case of Wolfgang Leonlard, an ex-Stalinist official of East Germany, whose dismal career has apparently foundered on the dismal hope that "national Communism" would be better than the all-too-togetherness of a universal Moscow state. Soviet Expert Edward Crankshaw met Leonhard in Yugoslavia, where, says Crankshaw in his foreword, "he was rather like one of those legendary young men who . . . emerge from the jungle emitting strange sounds, having spent their childhood or adolescence in the exclusive company of wolves-or bears...
