...Administration could initially offer on Laos was a new look by new men. It will support the plan to reconvene the old three-nation (Canada-India-Poland) Control Commission to stop the fighting- a proposal formally presented to Russia by Britain last week. It was a wan hope.* For the new Administration, as for the old, Laos offered the unattractive choice between a difficult peace and an impossible...
...Franciscans, modern journalistic history began in 1887 when the late William Randolph Hearst, then 23, received the morning Examiner as a gift from his wealthy father.

Looking dour and wan, he declaimed his standard piece: the Soviet Union was the only nation interested in peace; he had asked the U.S. for help but was told to get it from the U.N. "I did not understand this comedy," he cried. But now everything was clear: the U.S. wanted a monopoly on Katanga's uranium, and big American interests...
