...Nations Secretary-General, in his current campaign to become President of Austria. Last week the motto became an ironic taunt to Waldheim, who had been favored to win the May 4 election. Documents and photographs, apparently leaked by opponents, provided compelling evidence that Waldheim was a member of two Nazi organizations and served in a German army command responsible for the deportation of Greek Jews to death camps. Waldheim, 67, compounded his dilemma with a vague and unconvincing rebuttal. By week's end Waldheim had done irreparable damage to the reputation for cool diplomacy that he earned as head...

That and other pronouncements so infuriated President Richard Nixon that he told the Swedes their Ambassador was no longer welcome in Washington...
...Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." Winston Churchill paid that celebrated tribute to the Royal Air Force fighter pilots who won the 48-day Battle of Britain in 1940, thus thwarting plans for a Nazi invasion of England. The backbone of the R.A.F. was the agile Spitfire, the speedy (364 m.p.h.), quick-turning, British-built fighter plane that literally flew circles around enemy aircraft...
