...subsiding. Istanbul students who tried to stage new demonstrations against the ruling Democrats during the three-day NATO foreign ministers' meeting were thrown back by troops. The legislative "inquiry" into the opposition Republicans' "subversive and illegal" activities was already well under way in star-chamber secrecy. At midweek, students in Ankara began bandying about the rallying password "55 K" (translation: May 5 at 5 p.m. at Kizilay Square).

Imperturbably at midweek the President flew to Florida for a tour of the Cape Canaveral missile-test center. For 3¼ hours he was led through a forest of gantries for the liquid-fueled Atlas and Titan, the solid-fueled Polaris and Pershing. He praised the base's "minimum of extravagance and maximum of efficiency," said, "I came back with a much better feeling than I had before I went down there...
