...hollow and fatuous do these reports read now. (Gide and Coints later wrote disillusioned accounts of those early visits.) That substantial history (if people remember it) should make any visitor to China today pause before expressing hyperbolic opinions, as does Azinna Nwafor who has returned from an "extraordinary ten-day visit" with the account that he has seen a new creation...
Outside Chile, Allende is rapidly winning acceptance. On a recent ten-day swing through Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, he won pledges of moral support for his sweeping nationalization of American-owned firms.

The hope is that speculators will be unwilling to tie up their money for that long. French and Belgian central bankers have recently ordered commercial members to turn down foreign deposits that appeared to be speculative -a job requiring detective work that is much easier to perform in the clubby world of European bankers than it would be in the U.S. The move could lead to a much wider "two-tier" exchange system, with...
