...advantages of being a Nehru-type "neutralist" were altogether too tempting for Cambodia's Prince Norodom Sihanouk, 34, whose intentions sometimes exceed his experience. His fragment of fractured French Indo-China, a country the size of Kansas, was in line to receive economic aid from both West and East. As usual, the U.S. was first with the mostest ($88 million in two years). New hotels, cabarets and bungalows gave a festive air to Pnompenh, the capital, while under the mango trees, cruising Tampa-blue four-hole Buicks bore saffron-robed bonzes (Buddhist priests) to gilded pagodas.

...Minister Moshe Sharett was full of the snubs he and two colleagues had received at a recent meeting of the Interparliamentary Union at Bangkok.

India had smiled right back at him, as had Cambodia. On his previous tour to Burma a year ago, Chou had been greeted by well-organized but nonetheless enthusiastic crowds. But since the Red Chinese forays across Burma's border...

On the eve of his visit to Washington, Nehru still talked about a Communist thaw and a need to conciliate the Soviet Union, but he also had much kinder words for U.S. policy past and present, overflowing personal tributes for President Eisenhower and, most surprisingly, thoughts of stronger support for South Viet Nam's doughty anti-Communist President Ngo Dinh Diem, whom Nehru had once belittled as a U.S. puppet.
