...Herblock cartoon on the Oct. 3 issue, showing Nikita Khrushchev and his leather-jacketed gang of "East Side Rockets" prowling a New York street near the United Nations Building. Readers liked it; the subjects were understandably silent. Then last week there came a reaction from Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, who was shown on the cover as a trenchcoated observer coolly watching from the sideline as K. and gang prowled. Belgrade's Vecernje Novosti (Evening News) carried a front-page picture of Tito and members of his executive council looking at the Oct. 3 cover-and really breaking...
...last week to elect a new President, the expected tight race turned into no contest at all. With better than half the vote counted, Opposition Candidate Jânio da Silva Quadros, 43, held a huge 1,600,000-vote lead over the incumbent administration's man, Field Marshal Henrique Teixeira Lott, and seemed certain to roll up the greatest plurality in history. Quadros not only won his home state of São Paulo, he also jumped ahead in Lott's own state of Minas Gerais and won the no man's land in between. Said...

His quarrel with Khrushchev, dating back to 1958, was temporarily dissolved again in a succession of handshakes and a long confabulation behind the grillwork doors of the Soviet Union's Park Avenue mansion.* Old Partisan Fighter Tito was himself living in capitalist splendor on Fifth Avenue, and spent his free time strolling in Central Park or watching the night glitter of Manhattan from the Rainbow Room, 64 stories above Rockefeller Plaza...
...prince in Vientiane cannot tell a Red from a banyan tree. Several leaders of Laos' 28,000-man army - armed, trained and paid by U.S. aid-support Phoumi's right-wing rebellion. Also working for the general is the fact that he has had help from Marshal Sarit, strongman of the neighboring kingdom of Thailand, whom he calls uncle (actually, he is a first cousin once removed). Vientiane gets all its fuel and most of its food from Thailand, and Sarit has in effect imposed a blockade simply by closing the border across the Mekong River from Vientiane...
