...weapons had been in design for many months, but the fact that the U.S. was able to talk about them-at a critical time., when the Russians were boasting a post-Sputnik balance of power in the world-was not so much a triumph for the President's policies as for the policies of other top-level Administration officials, including Vice President Richard Nixon. At Administration conferences Nixon has urged 1) that President Eisenhower move sharply to re-emphasize his national leadership, and 2) that the Administration go farther toward explaining the true state of the nation...

...basically pro-Western government of Premier Souvanna Phouma has shown itself increasingly aware of the extent to which both corruption and the artificial exchange rate are damaging both Laos and the U.S. attempts to aid it. Last week U.S. Ambassador J. Graham Parsons flew back from Washington to his post in Vientiane to sit down with Laotian officials and work out plans for 1) establishing a realistic rate of exchange, and 2) helping Laos get a larger real share of the benefits it is entitled...
