...NATO, but the idea was blackballed by Eisenhower and Macmillan. He probably would have been as intransigent as a co-director as he has been without becoming one. Since then, he has progressively withdrawn French ground and naval forces from NATO commands, banished U.S. nuclear warheads from French soil, and sunk billions of francs into a crash program to create a nuclear force de frappe...
...three inspections each year to investigate suspicious tremors: the U.S. thought that eight inspections would be the minimum, having whittled that down from its original twelve. While the U.S. has been demanding that at least a dozen unmanned seismic detection stations, or "black boxes," be installed on Soviet soil, Khrushchev said that three would do-one each in Siberia's Altai Mountains, the Virgin Lands of Soviet Central Asia and the Soviet Far East. "We believe," he concluded, "that now the road to agreement is straight and clear...
...years ago, in open imitation of Europe's Six, five nations of Central America-Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and, later, Costa Rica-set up their own common market. But, unlike its European model, the Central American Common Market has poor economic soil to grow in: per capita income in its five member nations averages $200 a year, and heavy industry is almost nonexistent.

Henceforth, the five nations will select one company...

The Bay of Pigs invasion brigade trained on Guatemalan soil, and Ydigoras even offered to let anti-Castro Cubans form a government in exile there. But last week, facing strong pressure from the left and right, Ydigoras ordered all anti-Castro Cubans rounded up and expelled from Guatemala. "It is time,'' he said, "for other Latin American countries to do their part." As for the U.S., he told a reporter, "I would like to live in Florida...
...astonishing spectrum of Southern novelists there is Faulkner. He loved the land's dark soil and, in a rueful way, its people. Toward the middle of the range is a large group of writers for whom the South is merely a neutral, abundant earth to be walked on and, where it is interesting, written about. At the spectrum's other extremity are a few novelists to whom the South itself is a vast, febrile malevolence. Among these, on the evidence of Eternal Fire, is Calder Willingham, 40, a Georgia expatriate who now lives in New Hampshire...
