...week's voting, the country echoed with the same names and many of the same words that it heard in the 1963 campaign. The difference is that in 1963 Park was the raw, untested military man who had seized power in 1961, then traded in his khaki for mufti and taken on Yun at the polls. Park won-but only by a mere 156,000 votes of the 11,000,000 cast (out of a population of 27 million). Going into this week's elections, Park has four years of civilian government and a strong record working...
...Hallstein. Hallstein in turn refused to go into mail-order diplomacy, and the line of waiting unaccredited diplomats grew until it reached 17. Finally, last week, both sides gave in to a compromise that satisfied De Gaulle's main point. Representatives of South Africa and South Korea in mufti slipped quietly into Hallstein's office, were received by the EEC president in a grey business suit, departed without so much as a cup of coffee...
Among the passengers getting off a Yugoslav JAT airliner in Belgrade one afternoon late last month was a middle-aged Italian whose dark suit, white shirt and maroon tie only faintly concealed an unmistakable clerical look.

"It is these men," says Gabriel Almond, president of the American Political Science Association, "who are initially most appalled at the signs of corruption and breakdown." New-nation armies...
...Choltitz, and orders him-once he can no longer defend the City of Light -to leave it "nothing but a blackened field of ruins." The actor who plays Hitler, Billy Frick, is so exact a look-alike that he is afraid to leave the set except mustacheless and in mufti. The porcine, Prussian-looking fellow cast as General von Choltitz worries less, for during the past year he has got as many off-screen hisses as autograph requests. His name is Gert Frobe, but no one remembers him as anything but that malevolent archvillain in his most famed film. Gold...
