When, early in the week, Saudi Arabia's King Saud offered to mediate the Turkish-Syrian quarrel, Syria's ailing President Shukri el Kuwatly grabbed at the offer. "We accept your effort with all satisfaction," he said. In the U.N. the other Arab nations, anxious to forestall further Russian meddling in the Middle East, privately urged the Syrians to accept Saud's good offices. (The sole exception: Egypt, whose President Gamal Abdel Nasser regards Saud as a dangerous rival for leadership of the Arab world.) Then the word from Moscow-"An effort to evade U.N. debate...
...women pictured in the Nazi books about race-only not so boring." drifts through the years giving and going to dull parties. It seems to her that she is endlessly playing in an endless movie.

Tito has long dreamed of a Balkan federation dominated by Tito: his ambitions in this direction were one cause of the 1948 quarrel with Stalin, who never tolerated the notion of "many roads to Socialism." Tito also is a man who talks of the need to break up the rival Eastern and Western blocs, though he makes a good living by playing one off against the other. He thus becomes a potentially useful middleman. In his old worrisome days, he sought the help of capitalistic Greece and Turkey against Moscow. Now Khrushchev would like to revive this moribund Balkan pact...
