...debate, however, was proposed as a supplement to the information al meetings, not as a substitute for them. There would be ample time in Secretary McNamara's visit for both. Secondly, the Secretary of Defense, whose position requires him to speak informally with the President at one moment and address a news conference the next, surely would not feel inhibited merely because he was to speak formally later that day. Finally, Secretary McNamara is a principal architect of a controversial American foreign policy, a policy which raises serious moral objections. Both the policy and McNamara's responsibility for it make...
Then, in 1950, Tsien took off for Shanghai to "visit his parents." Federal agents picked him up on a China-bound ship with 1,800 Ibs. of rocketry research. After a long series of deportation hearings, the Government admitted that there was nothing "secret" in Tsien's load but claimed that he had been a Communist Party member since the 1930s. After Tsien was sentenced to deportation as a Communist, the Government had second thoughts.

...setback for his Christian Democratic Union in the key state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia took the steam out of his reputation as the country's No. 1 vote getter.

De Gaulle announced that the Somalis will be given their independence if they opt for it in a forthcoming referendum. If they do, they will be sorry, for France will pull out entirely, and "certainly not engage its resources and its troops to support the appearance of a state"-which is at least brutally consistent with his views about the U.S. role in Viet...
...cutoff was aimed at further damaging Gibraltar's already dented commerce. Due to earlier harassments, the colony's tourist-based economy has declined 40% in the past two years. Now anyone who wants to visit Gibraltar will have to either fly in, cross the border on foot, or come by sea. Foodstuffs that previously were trucked in from Spain now will have to come by boat from Morocco. Already there is a shortage of fresh milk. Declared Gibraltar's colonial Governor Sir Gerald Lathbury in a radio broadcast to the colony: "We have reached a milestone...
