...mile route from the airport to Manila's Malacanan Palace, where MacArthur and his wife Jean were to stay. Even MacArthur, never one to view his own role in history lightly, seemed impressed. "Overwhelming," he gasped. Bands greeted him with Old Soldiers Never Die, the venerable barracks tune he applied to himself when Truman recalled him from Korea in 1951 for defiantly insisting that the war should be carried to the Red Chinese mainland...
...confinement in a Leopoldville villa with solemn pledges to merge Katanga with the rest of the Congo; as Moise left for home, he embraced his old enemies, showered them with compliments. But once he was back in the safety of Katanga, crafty Tshombe changed his tune. The agreement signed in Leopoldville was forced from him under duress, he sneered. Last week Tshombe's regime declared that Katanga would not give up its own separate currency or its army, nor would it join a customs union with the rest of the Congo.

...Tune. Linner dispatched his aide, Robert K. A. Gardiner, a Ghanaian by nationality, on a special mission to Stanleyville, where Antoine Gizenga holds sway over Eastern province and claims to be the only true heir of the late Patrice Lumumba.

To the public and the London press, he was "The Man Who Won the War," "The Welsh Wizard" and "The Prime Minister of Europe." In the hymn-singing valleys of his homeland, his prestige was greater than that of the Prince of Wales (whom he taught Welsh), and no one could aspire to electoral office without the blessing of David Lloyd George. Hence the song...
...refugees who hold no love for the desert-born Hashemite dynasty. Half a million live in filthy camps and are grimly called "the King's immortal guests" because, to get more food rations, they register births but never admit to any deaths. They are fierce Arab nationalists, who tune in on Cairo's Voice of the Arabs and can stage a nasty riot. Last week Hussein risked their displeasure and defied his own royal relatives by taking a British bride...
