As sister-in-law and official hostess of Bachelor President Ngo Dinh Diem, dainty Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu, 30, a Christian, is not only the first lady...
...British. The U.S. has already agreed to sell him 200,000 tons of surplus wheat, and the French have signed a $5,000,000 barter deal with him. The British-Egyptian compromise was worked out by World Bank President Eugene Black, the discreet and yam-voiced international civil servant from Georgia who also helped the Suez Canal Co. settle with Nasser last spring...
