With aides and escorts flapping behind him like tattered pennants, the tireless visitor sped next day to an inspection of the Pan American Union Building and a speech before the Council of the Organization of American States, later to the State Department to watch his foreign minister sign Latin America's eleventh bilateral military assistance agreement with the U.S. Only once did he mention money out loud; at a press conference, where he spoke of Haiti's need for capital (a Haitian loan is in the works at the Export-Import Bank). Throughout the whole show, Magloire...
...matched fellow travelers of the week: unflaggingly anti-Communist Publisher William Randolph Hearst Jr. and Soviet Ambassador to the U.S. Georgy N. Zarubin, both bound for Moscow.

Town-dwelling mosquitoes, Aëdes aegypti, which carry the virus, are found in a continuous belt reaching from El Salvador through Mexico and into much of the U.S. Most of the U.S. South...
Will Noddy ever achieve the stature of an Alice or a Peter Pan? Most adults are apt to niddy nod at the idea. But anyhow, he will obviously be around for a while. Enid Blyton has just had her ninth Noddy novel published, and from her tidy house with its black cocker spaniel sitting at the gate, there is no telling how many more words will come. "Once I get started," says she blithely, "I've just got to go on and on. Oh, I love...
