...ultrafast Spa Franchorchamps course. So there he was, a few laps from the end, touring unhappily around in fourth place. Out front in a Brabham-Climax, the U.S.'s Dan Gurney was burning up the track, leading Britain's Graham Hill and New Zealand's Bruce McLaren by 40 sec., and Clark by 90 sec. Play safe? Not Gurney...
...least some moral support from the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization at its tenth anniversary conference. Summarily rejecting a call by French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville for a "political solution"-in other words, neutralism-in South Viet Nam, the seven other SEATO powers (U.S., Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan) vowed that "the defeat of the Communist campaign is essential not only to the security of South Viet Nam but to that of Southeast Asia."

Secretary...
...Imports of Australian beef have doubled in the past two years, and U.S. prices dropped 25% in 1963. More than 10% of the 97 Ibs. of beef eaten by the average American last year was imported, and most of it came from the sprawling ranges of Australia and New Zealand, which produce a chewy but inexpensive grade of meat. The new trade agreements will hold this year's imports to the 1962-63 level and permit small increases later-but this did not satisfy U.S. cattlemen. In Omaha, the National Livestock Feeders Association announced that it was "disturbed, disgusted...
