Raps & a Reply. As always, the U.S. came in for raps. President Eisenhower, cried the government-owned Radio Mambi, was an "aged golf player" who needed a nurse to "wipe away the slobber that drools from his lips." But the U.S. was in good company. Chile's President Jorge Alessandri's democracy has been called "rotten," he himself "a servile satellite of the United States." Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi, said another Mambi broadcast, was "pro-imperialist, a man who rules his country with murderous bayonets," and Mexico's Adolfo López Mateos...

He crawled informally into ditches to examine plants that interested him-he is an expert on fungus -and would then unconcernedly wipe his muddy hands on his trousers...
...U.S.S.R. might be tempted by its edge in missiles to try to knock out U.S. retaliatory power with a surprise attack on U.S. bomber and missile bases. The warning by SAC's commander, General Thomas S. Power, that with a mere 300 ballistic missiles the U.S.S.R. could "wipe out our entire nuclear strike capability within a span of 30 minutes," is much to the point. General Power's answer to the threat-an "airborne alert" that would keep 25% of SAC's B-52s in the air at all times - would be enormously strenuous and costly...
