...newsmen, Ben Bella was more explicit. He said flatly that his meeting with two envoys from Premier Benkhedda had come to nothing, and hinted that many of Benkhedda's backers were at the point of switching sides. Ben Bella stated that he is willing to call off the quarrel if Benkhedda will 1) reinstate the three members of the F.L.N. army general staff he fired last month; 2) convoke the 75-man National Council of the Algerian Revolution, in which Ben Bella claims a majority; and 3) free "my friends from jail...
...Days. There was nothing perfunctory about Rusk's mission to Bonn where crusty old Chancellor Konrad Adenauer needed some buttering up after his angry May quarrel with Washington over the negotiations with Russia. Rusk fairly smothered der Alte with kind words. "You never heard such flattery." said one witness at the first meeting. Over dinner in the Palais Schaumburg's chandeliered Grosse Kabinettssaal, Rusk softened Adenauer with long reminiscences of his graduate student days in Berlin 30 years ago, of tours in the Rhineland, of the Weimar era.

...Ambassador William Stevenson, formerly president of Ohio's Oberlin College, described U.S.-Filipino differences as a "lovers' quarrel." It is a little more than that. Macapagal is successfully trying to shake off the Garcia campaign charges that he is an American lackey, at the same time is telling the U.S. that the Philippines must not be taken for granted. He is also seeking, says a U.S. observer, to give his own people a greater sense of "national dignity and identity, rather than hostility or xenophobia...
...interpretations of Bible passages tend to be literal. Merriam argues that he was removed because his orthodox theology did not sit well with liberals in the presbytery who interpret Scripture and the confession more freely than he does. In answer, presbytery spokesmen say that his fellow ministers did not quarrel so much with Merriam's theology as with his "anti-intellectual" evangelism, inappropriate to a call that includes ministering to students from nearby Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary. >PERSONALITY. A flamboyant orator, Mer riam likes the unconventional gesture...
