...Lieut. Colonel Vuang Van Dong, 30, who declared himself "chef de coup d'état," explained what the fighting was all about: "We want to end politics in the army." The rebels' complaint was that Diem's interference was hamstringing the army's efforts to wipe out Communist terrorism. Chimed in a paratroop captain: "All Diem has done in six years in office is indulge in nepotism. He has generals who don't even command a company. He lives in an ivory tower surrounded by his family, so we must depose him. If we allowed...
Letter from Ike. All this did not go down well with those who recalled that sympathetic creditors, mostly U.S., for-gave over $1 billion in German prewar debts at the 1952 London Debt Conference, and that the U.S. Government agreed to wipe $2.2 billion in postwar aid debts off the books to help the Germans along. And though West Germany's defense depends largely on keeping U.S. and British troops stationed on its territory, the Germans have doggedly insisted on trimming their share of the costs of maintaining and supporting them.

Object of his ire was Ian Berendsen, U.N. chief in Katanga. "He is totally inefficient," roared Tshombe. "This representative has been working with such bad faith that I consider myself obliged to demand his immediate recall...
Stockpiled in the four nations with nuclear weapons is the equivalent of 10,000 tons of T.N.T. for every man, woman, and child on earth; the United States alone has sufficient nuclear power to wipe out the Soviet Union two-and-one-half times over. There is talk of a Doomsday Machine, powerful enough to destroy the entire world, which would be detonated the moment the United States is attacked. These facts are terrifying; they make the arms race a real and immediate concern of every American citizen. It is essential that they be presented and discussed, but the SANE...
