...When Amheiter was dismissed without a public hearing, Alexander-who had recommended him for the assignment-at first remained silent in hopes of avoiding an embarrassing scandal. Later, his conviction that Arnheiter's relief would sap the authority of every commanding officer overrode his concern for protocol; he openly demanded reconsideration of the Arnheiter case by Navy Secretary Paul Ignatius. "To have withdrawn my support from Arnheiter was prudent," he wrote to the Secretary, "but to turn against him was pusillanimous...
State Department Chief of Protocol James Symington, 40, also bade farewell last week. He wants to run for the House as a Democrat in Missouri's traditionally Republican Second District. It might be an uphill fight, but he knows a few things about Missouri politics, having twice helped run successful campaigns for his father, Senator Stuart Symington. Symington's replacement at State will be U.S. Ambassador to Spain Angier Biddle Duke, who held the protocol post for four years before going to Madrid...
...quite that simple. Guy, 22, and Peggy, 18, took on more than the double risk of a young and mixed marriage when they exchanged rings and vows. The wedding bells rang also for Dean Rusk.

It was both peremptory and insulting, addressing itself to "the British government's utterly hideous and ferocious features of fascist imperialism." Britain's man in Peking, Charge d'Affaires Donald Hopson, 52, a cool, much-decorated World War II commando offi cer, simply refused to send it to London. Peking, of course, broadcast the texts anyway. It demanded the release of 53 imprisoned Hong Kong Communists within 48 hours and the re opening of three outlawed Red tabloids...
...World. Nicky was the Czar, but the official classes and the police governed. At the center of the administrative web, Nicky and Alicky lived in a cocoon of preposterous protocol unchanged in a single item since Catherine the Great. Of pogroms and general misery, Nicky knew only what he was told. Of the good features of Russian life-the upsurge of national genius in fiction, poetry and science-he knew little, and what little he did know he did not like. His sole success was in contriving some sort of private life for himself and Alicky. At Czarskoe Selo...
