Even Ben Bella may not yet be sure to whose tune he will eventually dance. But as of last week, his words were not those of a Communist-or necessarily even a kissin' cousin of Communism-but of a nationalist faced with possibly insuperable problems at home and little time for intrigue abroad...
...nationalist point of view, foreign investors exploit local resources while stuffing huge profits in faraway pockets. It was no surprise then, when Guillermo Herrera Carrizosa, head of the Colombian government's Development Corp., early this year complained about companies taking more out of the country than they put in. He said that foreign businessmen operating in Colombia bring "little more than technique and a name," charged that instead of increasing the needed inflow of dollars, they develop their profitable enterprises by borrowing from local financial institutions...
...murdered by a hired gangster because of a property dispute, and the killer went free owing to his political connections. At 17, while South China was still shakily controlled by Chiang Kaishek, Chan was a student at a police training school in Canton. He spoke openly against the Nationalist regime and was overheard by a plainclothesman who warned him that such talk would get him into trouble.

Curiously enough, the fuller and more logical account of the incident came from a Soviet diplomat in India, who said that the pilot was a Nationalist Chinese who had trained for six years in the U.S. By way of deflating Red China's braggadocio, he added that a flame-out had forced the U-2 far below its maximum working altitude of above 80,000 ft., enabling the Chinese to shoot it down. The Russian denied that it was shot down by Soviet-supplied ground-to-air missiles, though Formosa's U-2s reportedly fly over an IRBM...
