Thant at UN enters fifth year with growing clout
In the wake of Hammarskjold's 1961 death U Thant was invited to lead the United Nations. Now midway through his fifth year as secretary general the Burmese diplomat enjoys high popularity and is viewed as a strong candidate for a second five year term. He has pursued peace efforts, including a peace mission to the Indian subcontinent, and welcomed Pope Paul VI to the UN. His tenure has included controversial moves such as a Cuba missile crisis visit, but he remains committed to the UN role beyond mere administration.
