...among the African countries, Khrushchev only raised hackles by his obstinate attempt to act like a spokesman for a group that had already rejected his right to do so. With the exception of Ghana's Nkrumah (who suggested that perhaps the U.N. should have three deputy Secretary-Generals), no one showed even faint enthusiasm for the Soviet plan to reorganize Hammarskjold out of a job.

Last year, Monro expressed the kind of bind that admissions officers often get into: "You break your back getting some tough little...
...Faculty member, John N. Plank '45, instructor in Government, proposed that the United States seek alternatives to the U.N. He argued that "as a viable institution, the U.N. will have to be subordinated to regional organizations." Specifically, he suggested that a group composed of the entire Atlantic Community be formed and that the Organization of American States be strengthened. He pointed out that the OAS has charter provisions for setting up inter-American laws and regional institutions such as universities...
