To the Dodger president, it is the brightest achievement of a vagrant, varicolored career. For Walter O'Malley, the tortuous trail to California began in The Bronx, where he was born on Oct. 9, 1903. He was the only son of Manhattan Politico Edwin J. O'Malley, a man who could trace his ancestry back to County Mayo, and Alma Feltner O'Malley, a woman whose family background was stolidly German.

Poking around the minarets and parapets of old Tunis, the NBC cameras caught some absorbing glimpses: the crowds chanting "Hi Yah Bourguiba" in the teeming souks and streets, the veiled Bedouin women greeting their first President...
Necessary Caution. Recalling his tortuous postwar discussions with Zhukov -a "confirmed Communist" but an "honest man"-Dwight Eisenhower went on: "One evening we had a three-hour conversation. We tried each to explain to the other just what our systems meant . . . to the individual, and I was very hard pufe to it when he insisted that their system appealed to the idealistic and we completely to the materialistic, and I had a very tough time trying to defend our position because he said: 'You tell a person he can do as he pleases, he can act as he pleases...
