...steps, he walks the gauntlet of gaping, impoverished eyes to enter the cathedral where the organ is playing an aria from "La Traviata." As the last notes hang amid marble frescoes high above, the band is still heard outside in the blazing courtyard. And while the villagers push and shove for a view, the Prince and his family sit in special pews near the altar, their faces ashen frm the dust, their heads hanging limply from their necks, their eyes bulging with fatigue...
...enthusiasm for interamerican unity, Dr. Eisenhower glosses over the differences in North and South American heritage. It is inconceivable to him that a "Latin Republic" might want to shove itself into the 20th Century by means not wholly to our liking nor entirely dictated by our image. He is totally American in his inability to understand communism. "Now two revolutions smolder in the hemisphere: the Alliance for Progress and Castro communism. One is dedicated to democracy, justice, and economic growth; the other, conceived in bloodshed, is dedicated to violence, totalitarianism and the destruction of human freedom. The former will take...
...inches. Massive roller bearings backed up by other jacks stand ready to compensate for horizontal motion. Fulltime crews patrol the bridge day and night, and when their measurements tell them the structure needs adjustment, they pump oil into the appropriate hydraulic cylinders to raise a section or shove it sideways.

It is a school, not vaudeville, to be sure, but it is a pretty good show nonetheless. Teachers crawl under tables to convince reticent...
...Joint Security Area of Panmunjom-a site a half-mile in diameter set up by the armistice, and the only place where the two sides formally come together-hostility is barely controlled. Red guards and U.S. military policemen shove and elbow each other for the right of way on sidewalks. Communists growl, "Kae seki [son of a bitch]" as they pass, spit at them or step on their toes. Reacting to such petty provocations, one 6-ft., 200-lb. U.S. Navy yeoman strolled up to a North Korean guardhouse and casually leaned against the door while the angry Communist soldiers...
