...Sooner or Later." In the midst of all the dignified swallowing of pride that was going on, Israel proclaimed that it was about to send an Israeli ship through the canal to assert its right, and Egypt just as huffily said that the ship would be stopped on the basis of Egypt's right to "self-defense." For more than a month a ship fully loaded has sat in Haifa harbor ready for the testing. For 48 hours last week there was an onrush of international tension. The U.S. announced publicly that it still supported Israel's legal...
Last week, with similar equanimity, Lawyer Zoli, 69, took on an assignment which, sooner or later, would almost certainly cost him a few teeth politically. When courtly Antonio Segni resigned as Italy's Premier two weeks ago, the four-party coalition that has dominated Italian politics since 1953 was utterly shattered. The only alternative to the coalition, pending next spring's general elections, was what Italians call a "single color" government-an all-Christian Democratic Cabinet which, since it would lack an assured majority in the Chamber of Deputies, could probably only survive by ducking controversial issues...
When Wartime Partisan Leader Aldo Fascetti was named by the Italian government last summer to boss the state holding company that runs about one-quarter of Italy's industry, private businessmen saw Red.

No sooner had they left (without even the formality of the usual communique praising Arab "unity"), than Saud got on the phone again to invite Hussein to Riyadh. Hussein hustled down by air last week, and King Saud gave him a big pep talk on the importance of keeping up the good...
...Eisenhower administration must bear much of the blame for this embarrassing situation. For, while most of the Senate opposition stems from isolationist elements, there are several problems which the President could have anticipated sooner. By clarifying the issue of control of nuclear secrets and material contributed to the agency, Eisenhower perhaps could have exposed isolationist arguments for what they are and maintained the support of others who simply want assurance that American fissionable material will not go into an enemy's stock-pile...
