...kind of thing Khrushchev could hope for from the neutrals, once they got over their initial indignation, was already manifesting itself in Belgrade, where a chorus of neutralist voices urged a summit meeting between Russia and the West to negotiate their differences-with the implied notion that the West should negotiate something, anything, that would appease the terrible wrath of Nikita Khrushchev...
...week's end, after the Russians added injury to insult to the assembled neutralists by setting off their bomb, there were signs that the reluctant leaders at Belgrade were getting the point. Senior Neutralist Nehru, who often sees two sides even when there is only one, took the speaker's platform, declared: "The danger of war comes nearer and nearer by the recent decision of the Soviet government to start nuclear tests. Our situation today is the most dangerous since World War II ended." The conference, he urged, should first address itself to this issue, laying aside...
...more than three years, almost unnoticed, and with dwindling success, the men who launched the "Colonels' Revolt" in 1958 have held out in Indonesia's remote jungles. But last week the revolt finally spluttered to virtual extinction.

...year-old war in Laos is fought by words and guns, by strange antagonists for curious motives. Many of the Meo people battle the Communist Pathet Lao rebels because the Pathet Lao interfere with their traditional opium trade. Laotian politicians-right, left and neutralist -jabber inconclusively in the hope of forming a coalition government that can unite the country. And in faraway Geneva, Russia, Red China, the U.S. and eleven other nations scrap interminably over a workable arrangement for ending the war. Biggest bone of contention: the withdrawal of foreign troops from Laos, including the 300-man U.S. Military Assistance...
