Khrushchev at any rate was not worried enough by the situation to stay home. Last week, he was off on another of his periodic missions to rural pigsties and haylofts, while his chief international troubleshooter, Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, was on a swing through West Africa. Artful Anastas got a coolly correct reception in Guinea, where he tried to mend some fences; the Soviet ambassador, since expelled, had stirred up demonstrations against President Sekou Toure, a Marxist but apparently not enough of one for Moscow. In Red-leaning Mali and Ghana, Mikoyan was treated like an honorary African, grinned while...
Rowan was sponsored for membership by his State Department predecessor, Edwin Kretzmann, and Voice of America Commentator Raymond Swing.

Just before Jones, the Soviet Ambassador had stepped up to the mike and intoned: "Merdeka Irian Barat [Freedom for West New Guinea]." Jones's choice of words stirred a furor in The Netherlands, where a high government official...
...Guterma's illicit stock operations became known. But once again McCormick could be faulted for ethical misjudgment. Given McCormick's undeniable services to Amex, his colleagues might, in different circumstances, have taken a less stern view of his peccadilloes. But when the SEC investigations get into full swing early next year, the governors of the American Stock Exchange will have all they can do to defend their exchange as an institution, without having to make the case for Little Mac as well...
