...what it sought-and failed to get-in 1954: partition of the country near the 16th parallel instead of the 17th. The U.S. is likely to call for a return to the conditions set forth, and frequently violated, at Geneva in 1954, with emphasis on international guarantees to protect the South from a swift Communist takeover...
...Protecting the Throne. This quiet regimen has given the King ample opportunity to reflect about what is happening at home. He knows that the longer he stays away the slimmer become his chances of regaining the throne. As things now stand, the ruling colonels are free to build a government to their own liking, without palace interference, yet with an "absent King" to protect their legal position as servants of the monarchy.

His biographer, who never met him, overstates his seeming ease of production; in her portrait, he is an amiable but absent-mirded fowl who every now and then discovers that he has produced an egg. At any rate, in 1938, at the age of 32, White produced The Sword in the Stone, an evocation of "the 12th century...
