...being sought, the situation will be shaped to the local preponderance of strength: in Suez, where Egypt has the means and authority to make it stick, Israeli shipping will be barred pending the decision; in Aqaba, Israel is determined and the U.S. is committed to send through ships unless and until the World Court rules otherwise...
Somber Hint. Some of Lord Salisbury's forebodings were soon confirmed. From the Seychelles, black-bearded Patriarch Makarios announced flatly that he was not prepared to negotiate with the British until he was permitted to return to Cyprus, and somberly hinted that EOKA terrorism would be resumed unless Britain lifted the state of emergency and released all Greek Cypriot political prisoners.

If conditions continue in roughly the same manner, the draft might be calling on 20-year-olds...
However, in the interests of uniform military requirements and in order to keep the confusion which normally surrounds enlistment opportunities at a minimum, this program should be adopted as a permanent part of our military system, unless it is to become merely an emergency measure for the remedying of a temporary reserve crisis. Since the basic purpose behind the six-month program does not appear to be of this temporary nature, any move to transform it would be unwise...
