...hope the fierce opposition that the Tshombe troops have displayed will show the U.S. that they want to be free and independent of any pro-Communist regime, such as the central government...
...prostitutes, jaywalkers, hooligans, and harassment of suspected Communists, liberals and corrupt politicians. Pak's first major move after taking over was to set off in full cry after the liberals again. Announcing a new law providing penalties up to death for Communist collaborators, the junta arrested former Premier John Chang and seven of his Democratic Party Cabinet ministers who were in his Cabinet before the May 16 coup, labeling them "proCommunist plotters."

In his eagerness to get the conference going, British Foreign Secretary Lord Home went to unprecedented lengths. On the key question of seating both pro-Communist delegations, Britain and the U.S. agreed to a final position paper that contained a scribbled Rusk provision that the Laotians could sit only "as observers with the right to speak." Home showed the document to Gromyko, and they jointly announced complete agreement-but the scribbled proviso had somehow disappeared...
