...something strange to see-an unwieldy hodgepodge of Scandinavian and Colombian infantry, Indian paratroopers, Yugoslav reconnaissance troops and Canadian headquarters personnel-yet the world's first international police force, taking form in Egypt last week, became from the outset a real instrument of power. Danish riflemen a little sheepishly took up buffer positions between the Egyptian and Anglo-French lines at El Cap, about 27 miles south of Port Said, and this week Norwegian and Danish troops are scheduled to relieve the Anglo-French forces of control of a large part of Port Said.

Good-Time Maggie. Heavyset, handsome Warren Grant Magnuson, 51, is in many ways Langlie's exact opposite. Maggie Magnuson (who says privately of Langlie's piety: "We better watch that guy at Easter time") is a cigar-puffing, Cadillackadaisical, free-roaming bachelor. Like Langlie, he has a Scandinavian background. But there the similarity ceases. A Washingtonian who knows both sums up the difference: "Art Langlie is the right-living, stern-conscienced, Sunday-go-to-meeting Scandinavian. Maggie is the ever-loving, good-time-Charlie Scandinavian come out of the woods on Saturday night for fun and sociability...
