IGNORING two protest letters from a cluster of usually pro-Administration academics, Secretary of State Dean Rusk has remained steadfast in his refusal to grant Yugoslavian author Vladimir Dedijer a visa to teach at M.I.T. this spring. Rusk's ban is clearly a frightened, anti-Communist reaction, revealing more clearly than ever how vulnerable the Administration considers itself on the Vietnam...
...seizure of the U.S.S. Pueblo was only the latest and loudest thunderbolt from a long-gathering storm of North Korean belligerence. Under Premier Kim II Sung, a tough, Soviet-trained soldier, the North has become increasingly frustrated by its place in the Communist world and its poor showing visa-vis South Korea.

And the sign at Veradero Airport reminds those who step aboard their planes that "He who forsakes the fatherland will never again be permitted to return...
...Although he speaks German, Hungarian, and some Italian and Spanish, Rademaekers has no facility in French. He asked the guide if she spoke English or any of the other languages. "No," she informed him coldly. "You are French." The correspondent produced his passport and tried to explain why the visa came from Paris, not New York. But since the guide could speak no English and he no French, the conversation ended with a surly driver delivering the "Frantsuzsky tourist" downtown to the relatively new Dnipro Hotel, where he was assigned a small, inelegant room on the second floor. A second...
