...speak or think in such terms as "the common man." I leave such patronizing concepts to the liberals. If, by "common man," you meant the lower-income groups, I do not regard incompetence as the exclusive, collective attribute of any group or class, lower or upper. I am not a modern liberal or a Marxist. I do not pass collective judgments on individuals by any sort of group or class standards. The terms "competence" and "incompetence" denote how well or how badly one does one's job, in any profession, on any level of ability, in any income group...
...they transformed a cheerful, terraced Mediterranean café into the atmosphere of a coffeehouse in Bucharest. The internees' expenses were paid by the government; much of the time the weather was warm enough for swimming; and in Porto, one fatherly gendarme captain even saw to it that a group of interned students kept up with their homework. But none of this could ease the bitterness of men and women who had been labeled "dangerous anti-Communists" and yanked away from their families without apparent rhyme or reason. One, shaken by the experience, died shortly after reaching Corsica...
...close the circle by creating a sort of provisional Palestine regime in the area now part of Jordan.

They would be backed by Cairo and run from Cairo. King Hussein was thus in for another showdown with Nasser. At such times he usually sends for his old troubleshooter, hard-nosed Samir Rifai...
Obviously not Katanga's Africans, who are 98% of the population, and want no new white masters. A likelier bet would be that the big Rhodesian and British mining interests, which own substantial shares in Katanga's rich Union Miniere du Haut-Katanga mining group, and perhaps Belgian industrialists themselves, were behind it all. Welensky talks of fearing a blood bath and "rampant tribalism" on his northern frontier, would welcome a buffer state against African nationalism...
Aristotle Invoked. The audiences keep coming back to the Second City, on Chicago's North Wells St., where the declining skill of satire is kept alive with brilliance and flourish. Reorganized last summer, the group that once gave basic training to Comics Shelley Berman, Mike Nichols and Elaine May rented a Chinese laundry, built a stage and paneled the walls with the sides of discarded phone booths. Many in the company-including Director Paul Sills, Actors Barbara Harris, Severn Darden, Andrew Duncan-date back to the Nichols-May-Berman days, keep up their longstanding practice of developing material...
