...Secretary of State Christian Herter claimed that the offshore islands were "not strategically defensible," labeled Chiang's preoccupation with Quemoy's fate "almost pathological." Into the State Department poured about 5,000 letters, 80% of them critical of Ike's policy. The President went on nationwide radio-TV, declared that the Quemoy attack was "part of an ambitious plan of armed conquest ... I assure you that no American boy will be asked by me to fight just for Quemoy. But . . . the American people as a whole do stand ready to defend the principle that armed force shall...
Three times a day, Monday through Friday, the confident tones of U.A.W. Commentator Guy Nunn roll over the radio or TV airwaves from station CKLW in Windsor, Ont. to Greater Detroit, extolling the virtues of Swainson, Kennedy & Co. His sign-off on every show suggests a provocative philosophy of labor's role: "Take it easy, fellas-but take it."

Madani had the run of the air force base where he was detained, eating at the officers' mess and sharing a room with a Jordanian air force officer in genial camaraderie. He seemed cheerfully prepared to cooperate, and the Jordanians happily scheduled a big conference where Madani was to be put on show as a Nasser spy in the sky. But early that afternoon he excused himself from the group of officers chatting at the club, explaining that...
Shocked officials summoned three doctors as witnesses, urged a U.A.R. diplomat to come and see for himself the genuineness of the suicide. But Cairo now had another tune to play. Nasser's radio hurled charges of murder, suggesting that King Hussein's brother and uncle personally ordered the shooting. When Jordan's embarrassed funeral cortege reached the Syrian frontier to turn the body back, U.A.R. guards swept the Jordanian wreaths into the roadside dust. In Damascus and Cairo the U.A.R.'s propagandists and patriots staged a triumphant demonstration for the boy who, rather than embarrass...
