...Nixon strategy was plainly in evidence last week. Time and again he made such remarks as "In my various conversations with Mr. Khrushchev . . ." and "As Khrushchev said to me . . ." In Illinois for the dedication of the University of Chicago's new $4,100,000 law center, Nixon urged, as he had before, that the rule of law be brought more decisively into international affairs; bypassing the opportunity to talk politics with Illinois Republicans, Nixon spent nearly all his spare time in his hotel room, working on a carefully nonpartisan speech, which he delivered at midweek at the CENTO conference...

Demonstrators protesting last month's execution of 13 popular Iraqi army officers (TIME, Sept. 28) even dared to chant: "Allah is great, Kassem is crazy." In the sultry heat of Baghdad, many an old Mideast hand could smell trouble...
