...fact, Charles Malik, flying to the U.S., announced that he had been charged by his Chief of State, "in agreement with King Saud, to intervene during my visit to Washington with President Eisenhower and Mr. Dulles to obtain assurances that the U.S. will not use force in Syria." In Iraq, the only Arab nation formally connected by pact to the West, the controlled press took up the cry, as Baghdad's Al Akhbar warned that the U.S. would commit "the most serious blunder" if it treated Syria as hostile to its neighbors...

Last week, as 80,000 Kashmiris pelted him with flowers and delighted schoolchildren piped, "Hooray for Uncle Nehru," India's Prime Minister once again rode through the streets of Srinagar...

After lunch, during which he sometimes waits on table for fellow Jesuits, he gets back to his desk. The day ends with a 10:15 visit to the chapel and a 10:30 lights-out. This schedule is relaxed slightly on weekends, when the general packs the omnipresent letters, plus a private secretary, into a diesel-engined black Mercedes, and heads for the Jesuit-owned Villa Cavallatti in the Alban Hills, where he tends a flower...
