U Thant Remains Quiet UN Leader
U Thant, 55, two years as UN secretary general, continues calm leadership style and quiet routines. He rises at 6:30, meditates, reads wide news sources, enjoys limited entertainment, and spends Sundays with family amid a long, demanding workday at the United Nations. His son Tin Maung died in Rangoon in 1962. He favors West Side Story and daiquiris, watches boxing on Friday nights, and values family time when crises allow.
