...threadbare, third-floor suite of rooms on a Paris back street, Tunisian Premier Habib Bourguiba told U.S. Ambassador to France C. Douglas Dillon that 400,000 unemployed Tunisians face starvation after two years of poor harvest. Tunisia, said Bourguiba, needs wheat fast. Dillon is keenly aware that France often resents U.S. aid and similar "interference" in North Africa. Had Bourguiba discussed his problem with the French government? Oh yes, said Bourguiba, it was the French Finance Minister, Paul Ramadier, who suggested that Tunisia should put the bite...

Yet the French military no longer wishes to leave Viet Nam and the U.S. grants financial aid to them.* The French want to get the best part of the cake and if they cannot get it, they...
...lets himself into his third-floor office and, since he is the first one there, opens the mail himself, carefully putting each letter back in its envelope to be answered by his five-woman staff. Surprisingly little of his mail conies from Georgia-George's constituents seem to be reluctant to take up his time. While the Senate was in recess one summer, a Vienna lumber dealer drove 200 miles to complain to George's colleague, Richard Russell, about trouble with war orders. Russell asked why the man had come all that way, since he lived just...
