Male Wall. The only people paying attention to the bitter Chinese complaints were a group of Western newsmen. The sight of outsiders overhearing the family quarrel brought fiery Jeannette Vermeersch to her feet and, pointing an accusing finger, she cried to the Chinese delegates: "You are talking in front of the imperialist press-and yet you say that you are fighting imperialism!" Strong-armed Russian males formed a human wall between the reporters and the Chinese as the exasperated chairman adjourned the meeting. The role of peacemaker fell to Guinea's Jeanne Martin, president of the Pan-African Women...
...Chinese delegation to Moscow. Twenty-five reasons, to be exact, all neatly numbered in a letter for convenient "point-by-point discussion" at the scheduled Sino-Soviet meeting next week. Mao Tse-tung's latest message to Nikita-the most vehement to date in the continuing quarrel-doomed the confrontation to failure before it began.

In an angry, 2,500-word memo to his colleagues in the armed forces. General Enrique Rauch, who took over last month as Interior Minister, attacked the whole shaky structure of Argentina's government, from the ministries on down. In Rauch's view, the handling of economic policy was inept, numerous shysters from the Frondizi regime still infested top ranks of government, public opinion was misinformed, and scores of "economic criminals" were conspiring...
