YEAR END REVIEW
Hopes for greater worldwide harmony were dashed in 1960 by civil uprisings, political assassinations, diplomatic errors and a return to Cold War belligerence. Natural disasters -- earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes, air crashes and fires added grim death tolls to the foreboding headlines. The U-2 spy plane incident, the summit collapse, Japanese riots and chaos in the Congo increased world tensions. In Paris and at the big U.N..meeting in New York, Nikita Khrushchev shouted, threatened, flirted, interrupted and pounded tables. In the midst of Cold War eruptions, 1960 also was witness to happier scenes: Princess Margaret marrying Antony Armstrong-Jones, Queen Elizabeth a mother for the third time, royal babies joyously welcomed in Iran and Japan, John F. Kennedy Jr., born to grow up in the White House. And the United States showed the shaken world an example of peaceful transition from one Administration to the next, as the nation's voters by a close margin, elected, John F. Kennedy to succeed Dwight Eisenhower.
