...election of a new Secretary General. Logical candidate for the job is Burma's taciturn U Thant, who is serving out the unexpired portion of Dag Hammarskjold's term. Backed solidly by the Asian bloc, Thant is also assured of U.S. support; although he is a neutralist, the U.S. cannot hope to get a much more pro-Western man in the present U.N. But the Soviet Union and its satellite delegations have indicated that they will wage another campaign in favor of the troika, a three-headed (one Western, one neutral, one Communist) monstrosity that would leave...
...Chinese-born, and two of them said they did not want to go home. The Cabinet also designated three exit points for foreign troops. Some 800 U.S. military advisers with the Royal Laotian Army will leave via Vientiane; North Vietnamese technicians with Prince Souvanna Phouma's neutralist forces will depart from the Plaine des Jarres.

Clearly it was up to nimble neutralist President Kekkonen (who has two cars in his garage, a Cadillac and a ZIS) to say he was sorry about the whole thing. Sternly he denounced the "irresponsible behavior of youth circles in the capital." Irresponsible or not, Finnish youth had revealed the ingrained anti-Russian bitterness that lies beneath the veneer of Finnish neutrality. It is a vivid memory that many of the delegates will be taking home with them when the festival...
