A prime example of what pleases is the $15 million Nuclear Research Center in West Pakistan, the first phase of which has just been completed in the sleepy village of Nilor, 17 miles north of the present capital, Rawalpindi, and close to Islamabad, the projected new capital for all Pakistan.

...Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The official version was that the wily, dapper Bhutto, at 38 one of Ayub's youngest Cabinet ministers in terms of age but the oldest in tenure of office, had resigned for health reasons.

No sooner had the tank-and-jet performance completed last week's "Pakistan Day" celebrations than the Chinese collected the first installment of Ayub's debt. Into Rawalpindi flew Red Chinese President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi for five days of talks and ceremonies.
