While the tour members reminisced, Tun Razak was attending another party, this one in honor of his 47th birthday. There, the most impressive of the gifts Tun received was an announcement by the Tunku reiterating his determination not to stand for office after the next election - which leaves Tun Razak heir to the premiership. Next day Tun Razak got another gift: a biography of Winston Churchill. The life story of the great British statesman was given to the Malaysian statesman by Time...
Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird returned last week from a four-day tour of Viet Nam, and it became known that he was considering pulling out as many as 50,000 troops before the end of the year. Nixon obviously would like to do so, but, for the immediate future, at least, he quashed that notion. "In view of the current offensive on the part of the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong," he said at his press conference, "there is no prospect for a reduction of American forces in the foreseeable future."

On its present tour, which began last October, it has played in 138 different towns and villages of northern and central Italy, mostly on one-night stands, to audiences ranging from 500 to 3,000. Everywhere the reception is astonishing. One evening recently, in the tiny village of San Martino in Fiume, 540 of the 800 inhabitants...
Kiddie Talk. With that, Onassis howled, and Premier George Papadopoulos hurried back to Athens from a tour of northern Greece. After conferences among government ministers, Makarezos mysteriously retracted. His ministry confirmed that Onassis was still the victor. Onassis celebrated at a spirited press conference. He contended that his offer, including some projects for the more distant future, was really worth $550 million. Apparently, Onassis won out because he agreed under pressure last week to put up a sizable cash guarantee that he would actually complete the projects. With biting sarcasm, he poked at Niarchos-without ever mentioning his name...
