Over the roads near Middleburg, Va., a convoy of limousines daily moved into a lavish colonial estate called Huntlands, only three miles from President Kennedy's winter weekend spot, Glen Ora.* Shielded from prying eyes by a high, cream-colored brick wall, diplomats from The Netherlands and Indonesia met with U.S. Mediator Ellsworth Bunker, former U.S. Ambassador to Argentina, Italy and India, to try to negotiate their dispute over the control of Netherlands New Guinea. Last week, after 4½ weary months, the negotiators shook hands on a deal...

Enthusiasm & Experience. The Peace Corps' youthful (average age: 24) teachers seem to make up in enthusiasm what they lack in experience. One of those with a classroom background is Dorothy Dee Vellenga, 24, who last year taught biology at the expensive Foxcroft school for girls in Middleburg, Va. Now she is in charge of all-male classes in biology and chemistry at the West Africa Secondary School in Accra. "It's certainly a refreshing change," she says. "The boys here are much more enthusiastic than the girls were at Foxcroft. They pay perfect attention, and you can hear...
