Through the festive streets of Rawalpindi clanked five Chinese-built T-59 tanks, dipping their long, angular gun barrels as they passed President Mohammed Ayub Khan's reviewing stand. Then the walls of the capital reverberated to the roar of a Pakistani Air Force flyby, led by four silvery MIG-19s. A flock of American-supplied aircraft trailed cautiously at the rear, mostly B57 bombers, F-86 Sabres and F-104 Starfighters. Ayub's armory had a new look, and he was flaunting it before his SEATO and CENTO allies...
From camps on the outskirts of West Pakistan's capital of Lahore, retreating Indian soldiers hit the road for the Indian frontier city of Amritsar, 30 miles away. Others manhandled weapons and ammunition down through the snowdrifts of the 8,600-ft. Haji Pir pass. Pakistani units pulled back from the sand dunes of Rajasthan and the villages in the Vale of Kashmir. On both sides of the 1,000-mile border between West Pakistan and India, as the armies fell back, tens of thousands of displaced farmers abandoned makeshift huts and refugee compounds to begin the long tramp...
After one month of battle and six of armed truce, Pakistani-Indian relations were at long last returning to normality. Normality, of course, did not mean friendship.

Whether addressing U.S. combat units in Viet Nam or discussing the merits of U.S. tractors with Laotian officials, handing out Senate gallery passes to giggling Pakistani nurses or teaching Thai children to say "O.K." and "Goodbye," Humphrey was on center stage every minute of his trip. His only moment of humiliation came in, of all places, friendly Saigon, where, despite his blandishments and some rafter-ringing hooo-ees, the black Berkshire hogs at an agricultural-experiment station haughtily ignored the Vice President-evidence, no doubt, that the Viet...
...really unexpected Princeton wins came in the second and fourth matches. Keith Jennings, who covers a squash court more like a Pakistani than a Princetonian, wore down Harvard's Jose Gonzalez, 15-10, 2-15, 5-15, 15-10, 15-6. After losing the first game, Gonzalez pinpointed his drop shots to win the next two games by ridiculous scores...
