...Ungrateful Role. A year ago, he urged that Cambodia and Laos be recognized by both East and West as "neutral buffer states." Sihanouk blames the failure of this plan on the U.S. which, he says, at that time wished "to have Laos aligned as a 'pro-Western' neutrality," forced the issue, and got beaten. In Laos, sighs Sihanouk, "true neutrality is no longer possible. The victors and their allies now dictate their will...
...President Kennedy to help push Nehru toward a settlement of the Indo-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir, which is ruled by India but is heavily Moslem in population. "Work on Mr. Nehru's nerves."

Actually, he's just in a trance...
...Afghan army, Soviet-trained and equipped after the U.S. consistently turned down the Afghan's requests to arm them, throws its weight on the Russian side in the scales of Daoud's studied neutrality.
