...flares bright in the oilfields of Abadan, where the Zoroastrians built fire temples over ducts of natural gas. A railroad is stretching out across the treacherous Dasht-i-Kavir Desert, once traversed only by spice caravans from the Orient. A giant dam now irrigates the rolling grainlands below Shush, the ancient capital of the Elamites, where Daniel had his second vision...
...blunt statement would have sent many Latin Americans into bursts of outrage about Yanqui callousness-and Ecuador's interim President, Otto Arosemena Gómez, 41, indeed complained that the U.S. did not offer enough aid. But for the rest of the Latin Americans, who vainly tried to shush Arosemena, Johnson's words hit home.

Many a visitor to the Assembly-and certainly some delegates-thought, from the way the voting went, that there was nothing but joy unconfined over the move. There was no debate on the subject; it had been specifically banned to shush any boat-rockers. There were cheers and applause when the vote was announced (142 for, three opposed, four abstentions), and again when roly-poly, auburn-bearded Archbishop Nikodim, head of the 16-man Russian delegation, mounted the stage for his formal admission...
