This is a somber time, which calls for somber behavior. The heads of state, foreign ministers and defense ministers from more than 40 countries were to come to Washington. On Friday and Saturday nights, April 23rd and 24th, their spouses were scheduled to attend official White House and State Department dinners. Dr. Stephen F. Szabó, dean of Johns Hopkins University, son of our editor, was the commentator of the “Voice of America” transmission of this historic event.
