Last week Willy Brandt and Georges Pompidou met in Paris to congratulate each other on the tenth anniversary of the treaty. There were champagne toasts, a wreath-laying ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe and an exchange of kind words, along with the highest French and German decorations. At the final gala dinner, the German Chancellor nearly forgot to wear the lapel button of his brand new Grand Cross of the Legion d'honneur, then suffered a brief moment of panic when he discovered his dinner jacket had no buttonhole. The situation was saved by the deft thrust...
...from a funeral home to the Truman Library in Independence. There some 75,000 people queued patiently through the night, some carrying sleeping children in their arms, to file past the mahogany coffin. Explained one mourner from Independence: "This whole town was a friend of Harry's."

They gathered in an impoverished town with the unlikely name of William Morris* to lay a wreath near the spot where two Peronist guerrillas were killed by police two years ago. Police attempts to break up the demonstration touched off a five-hour battle. One Peronist youth was killed by a tear-gas canister fired at pointblank range, and the melee was broken up only when army units moved...
...within spitting range of the Presidential limousine. Although I did not actually see the events with my own eyes, I know that Nixon left his limousine to autograph a football for a Midget Football team in Mamaroneck; to greet a drum majorette just outside White Plains; to place a wreath at a cemetary in Eastchester; to receive a gold key to the Village of Tuckahoe. I know that the President's motorcade covered a 50 mile route in three-and-a-half hours; that Captain William Keith of the New York State Police estimated the number of people...
