...talkative tiger. Days before in London, the plain-spoken President of Pakistan had demonstrated his old soldier's scorn for diplomatic niceties, had loudly broadcast his doubts about U.S. policy in Southeast Asia and threatened to "reexamine" his country's SEATO and CENTO commitments. At planeside, his grey guardsman's mustache bristling, Ayub was terse and blunt. "We naturally take deepest interest," he told President Kennedy, "in what goes on in this country-and especially what you do, sir." Then he strode to Kennedy's new bubble-topped Lincoln and plunged into a giddy, four...
