...fuzzy wake of the last war, the United States joined in the Allied pledge of 1948, deeding to Italy eventual control both of Zone A, the city of Trieste, plus 86 square miles below Italy, and Zone B, 199 square distria. Now the United States and Britain, without consulting either the Security Council or France, their third partner in the '48 Tripartite, have decided to woo Tito with the lure of a share in Trieste. In a declaration on October 8, the two powers announced a revision in policy: they will soon withdraw their occupation troops from Zone A, turning...
There has been little hint of speedy settlement between the two interested parties. Tito has threatened to march on Trieste; Italian Premier Giuseppe Pella must extract a promise from America and Britain that Italy will eventually get Zone B if he is to remain powerful in his nation's polities. And so, the two, leaders are now working at hopelessly crossed purposes, each proposing his own compromise and rejecting all others...
...theory the October agreement makes sense. There are about four times as many Italians as Yugoslavians in Zone A, while in Zone B the Slavs are the majority.

There are other disadvantages in the proposal. No provision has yet been made that would guarantee Trieste as a free port. Austria and the Slavic countries need this outlet to the Adriatic, and without their trade, the port could not continue...
...Soviet zone magazine Berliner II-lustrierte, all hot and bothered, disclosed the power responsible for last year's Republican victory, for U.S. policy in Germany, and for McCarthyism. It turned out to be none other than Cinemactress Marilyn Monroe. Her function, said the magazine in a full-page expose, is to make people forget why Joe and Tom had to die in Korea, how [Americans] are cashing in throughout West Germany, and about the rising cost of living . . . Not by coincidence did this appeal to the nerves begin at the height of the American presidential election...
...Coach Leahy saw his national championship slipping away. Once more Notre Dame had the ball deep in Iowa territory, with the clock running out. This time, two Notre Dame linemen feigned injury. When the clock started up again, there was just time for three quick passes into the end zone, the last for another Guglielmi-Shannon touchdown. Iowa's prize: the upset of the week. Notre Dame's: a slightly tarnished...
