...Treasury's surprise, has also heeded the arguments of Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge, who supports IDA, but also wants the U.S. to handle some foreign aid through the U.N. Last year Lodge won the President's approval for a U.S.-sponsored "U.N. Special Fund," which provides modest sums for pre-investment surveys in underdeveloped countries, also for technical training. Since then, the U.S. has contributed $5,000,000 to the U.N. Special Fund. Lodge now believes that this U.N.

...Kill. Lark burns a brush fence and frees the mustangs. That should be enough to make bullets fly, but there is a special ethic in this far, far western. In battle, as in love, no one shoots to kill. "You could shoot Blanding," Lark urges Stanley. "Oh, I don't mean kill him. You could just shoot his leg off." Bloodlessly the climax peters out, and not even wild horses could drag much response out of anyone but a dyed-in-the-saddle Grey...
