...might begin by trying out aerial inspection in 1) a patch of Europe between Amsterdam and Leningrad, and 2) a North Pacific zone including most of Alaska and a small piece of Siberia. Last week Zorin formally proposed a larger European area, centered farther west so as to include southeast Britain, all France and Germany, all of the satellites-but practically none of Russia itself. On the other side of the world the Russians offered to open up all of Siberia east of but not including the Lake Baikal atomic test area, in return for an unlimited look at "approximately...
Like every other chief of state in Southeast Asia. South Viet Nam's President Ngo Dinh Diem was disturbed by the disproportionate economic influence wielded by his country's closely knit 1,000,000 "overseas Chinese."* In South Viet Nam 75% of the country's rice and corn trade is Chinese-controlled, and Chinese entrepreneurs dominate much of the nation's export-import trade, banking and shopkeeping. President Diem felt that Chinese who lived and worked in South Viet Nam should become Vietnamese citizens. The Chinese, respectable, law-abiding, but ever prideful of their heritage, disagreed...

South Viet Nam's Chinese, one of Southeast Asia's most outspokenly anti-Communist communities, reacted promptly.

Like Whitten, newsmen from other Dallas radio and TV stations helped make last week's devastating storm what one scientist called "the best-documented tornado in history." As the whirling funnel gouged a path through the city from southeast to northwest, killing ten, injuring 200 and causing a $4,000,000 loss in smashed homes and businesses, radiomen tracked it closely in swift mobile units. Since the twister rarely moved faster than 20 m.p.h., they often sped in front of it, frequently beat police and disaster units to scenes of havoc. They gave thousands of homeward-bound motorists accurate...
