...Nationalist Prime Minister Hendrik F. Verwoerd now has permission to change the country's status from a constitutional monarchy under the British Crown to a republic with its chief of state. And, more important than , Verwoerd and his government of White supremacists have, in effect, been given a mandate to tighten the screws of apartheid on the 12,000,- non-Whites. One wonders, after early 13 years of Nationalist apartheid rule, whether it is possible to tighten the screws any other in South Africa. But Verwoerd certainly going...
...President sent a task force from the waiting Seventh Fleet into action. U.S. convoys escorted Chinese Nationalists toward the three-mile limit of Quemoy, and sent the Chinese the rest of the way in LSTs and LSMs. Overhead, Chinese Nationalist ace pilots, in U.S.-built planes, bloodied the Communist MIGs. Little by little, Quemoy was provisioned and armed to the beaches with 155-mm. howitzers, mortars and tanks. From Moscow, Khrushchev demanded the fleet's withdrawal on pain of an all-out war.

From places and things he descended to personalities: Syngman Rhee was "a throttler and choker of the Korean people," Philippine Delegate Lorenzo Sumulong "a jerk and a lackey," Dag Hammarskjold "a fool" and President Dwight Eisenhower "a liar." As for the United Nations itself...
Four years ago the U.S. was anxiously instructing all the world's neutrals in the dangers of Communism, worriedly warned that the devious Communists would worm their way into any neutralist regime and make off with it. The U.S. has learned that a strong nationalist government, firmly rooted in its own people, can defend itself against Communism's blandishments and pressures, not on behalf of the West but on its own behalf. In their turn, neutralists have watched Communism operate, and learned to be wary. India has learned that Red China talks peace but grabs off border lands...
