...Waving Hand. Unhappily for B. and K., the dignity bit failed to impress the Finns any more than the jollity bit had impressed the British (TIME. April 30, 1956). The crowds that gathered to watch the comings and goings of the Soviet leaders were small and unsmiling. When Khrushchev, riding through Helsinki in an open car, waved to the sidewalk throngs, nol one hand waved in reply, and many a back was pointedly turned.

...Secretray-General should impress upon Nasser that once this objection has been removed Egypt has little choice under international law but to declare non-belligerency and permit free passage in Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. If the United States speaks out strongly on this point instead of equivocating with its usual pious phrases, Egypt will probably concede. For when Egypt has these securities, she will have no legal basis for interfering with Israeli shipping. But so long as Israel insists on occupying El Auja, Nasser will have some justification for keeping Israeli ships out of the canal...
