...Russians as "pimps of the imperialists," and last week it all but ignored the 16th anniversary of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship-while the Russians marked the occasion by carrying a long Pravda attack on the Chinese. Peking is bristling about Leonid Brezhnev's recent visit to Ulan Bator and the resulting U.S.S.R.-Outer Mongolian treaty, which contains military clauses that China believes are clearly aimed against it. There is mounting evidence that the Soviets will try to practically excommunicate Red China from the world Communist movement at the 23rd Party Congress in Moscow next month, thus isolating...
Next came a three-hour visit to Laos. A military band welcomed Humphrey with Marching Through Georgia, and Premier Souvanna Phouma made no secret of his concern over the Communist military on the march in his divided country. But Souvanna, who hugs the fiction of neutralism as closely as the Communist rebels allow him, wanted no talk of military countermeasures.

"You just can't have the people on the negative side making all the noise," insists Sutton. How about all the time already lost from classes? Argues A.V.N. Organizer Wayne Wood: "We are lucky enough to be in college, and this is the least we can do. I can give up my grades...
Erhard wanted assurance that De Gaulle, on his visit to Russia this spring, would not recognize East Germany or compromise the disputed Oder-Neisse border. Privately, De Gaulle was quite willing to offer such assurances. Not publicly, since that might dampen his Moscow welcome. The solution? A graceful (but fleeting) toast in champagne (Laurent Perrier '55) to "a united Germany...
