...Northerner, Quat is now thought to be interested less in the presidency than in being chosen as a stronger candidate's vice-presidential running mate. The third civilian is Ha Thuc Ky, 48, a forestry engineer and Hué businessman nominated by the Dai Vet Party, a small, ultranationalist grouping. No relation to Premier Ky, he, like Quat, can best hope for the role of a running mate...
...trade in the politics of the Nationalist Party. In 1933, when Nationalist Prime Minister Barry Hertzog made a pact with the South African Party's pliable Jan Christian Smuts-whom Verwoerd considered a tool of the British-he was so disgusted that he joined Afrikanerdom's ultranationalist secret society, the Broederbond (brotherhood).

Pride in their country's achievements makes Mongols eager for contact with the rest of the world, and Mongolia has tried hard to establish diplomatic relations with the U.S. On the occasion of Outer Mongolia's admission to the United Nations last year, Washington declared it had "explored...
Message Repeated. For De Gaulle, the critical area is not Metropolitan France but Algeria, where the ultranationalist Secret Army Organization of ex-General Raoul Salan seemed to be sneering louder every day at De Gaulle's attempts to reach agreement with the F.L.N. From his hiding place near Algiers, Salan wrote a letter, which was published in Le Monde, denying that either he or the S.A.O. had been connected with the bomb attempt on De Gaulle's life. Two days later, Salan's men bombed the national television station's transmitter near Algiers just before...
