<DIV>You're right, Jaime. I'm sure it was Carlos Romulo. Here's a story from
wikipedia:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>. In 1948 in Paris, France, at the third UN General Assembly, he strongly
disagreed with a proposal made by the <A class=mw-redirect title=Soviet
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet">Soviet</A> delegation headed by <A
class=mw-redirect title="Andrei Vishinsky"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Vishinsky">Andrei Vishinsky</A>, who
challenged his credentials by insulting him with this quote: "You are just a
little man from a little country." In return, Romulo replied, "It is the duty of
the little Davids of this world to fling the pebbles of truth in the eyes of the
blustering Goliaths and force them to behave!", leaving Vishinsky with nothing
left to do but sit down.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He also had a comeback about being a dime among nickels. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Twice between 1952 and 1954, he expanded my world in a wonderful way It's
amazing to me now that such a great man was on the high school
assembly circuit. That couldn't happen now. They're too busy testing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

Carlos Romulo, a squirt of a dynamo who Truman called "the President of the
World". He was the first President of the UN General Assembly. He
wore elevated shoes and apocryphal stories abound of him literally standing on
copies of the Encyclopedia Britanica! He was a diplomat
extraordinaire!</FONT><BR><BR>
