...news generated a small whirlwind of sanguine speculation-especially in Italy, where it broke on All Saints' Day, when the Vatican's offices and its newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, were closed. Rome's Giornale d'ltalia hailed the meeting as "the Christian summit"; Il Messaggero called it a "sign of Christian reconciliation on the plane of common spiritual defense." The Vatican quickly slapped down such exuberance; L'Osservatore Romano brushed off the news with a small...
...time last week, Richard Nixon could have been taken for legendary Joe Btfsplk, the creature out of L'il Abner who always walks under a cloud. There was his trouble on the TV debate with Kennedy. Rain dogged him from Illinois to New York to Massachusetts. Chowder fog slowed his chartered Convair while crowds waited restlessly on the ground below.

Behrman quotes B.B. referring to a painting of Il Salvatore Benedicente owned by the Louvre. It gives an especially arresting example of B.B.'s application of his philosophy to works...
Africans Alarmed. But with the episode, Lumumba had finally overreached himself. When his U.N. delegation at last arrived in New York (in a Soviet IL-18 turbojet), virtually the only voices raised in their favor were Communist. Echoing Moscow's radio blasts against Hammarskjold, Soviet U.N. Delegate Vasily Kuznetsov protested that most of the U.N. technicians in the Congo had been recruited from Western countries, demanded that "armed groups from Canada" be withdrawn from the Congo, since Canada was a Belgian ally in NATO...
