Picture of Travail. The interview began in front of the Guggenheim museum (where a beatnik type "swept off his rakish Astrakhan hat and stood transfixed"), then moved on to Schrafft's (where John Jr. had a butterscotch sundae), and ended up at a friend's Fifth Avenue apartment. Conniff and Considine are unabashed admirers of "the young woman who bears such assorted burdens as Gallup's pronouncement that she is the most admired person of her sex in the world ... a woman who has been on the best-dressed lists most of her adult life ... the smile...
...Astrakhan Coat by Pauline Macaulay. No Broadway season would be complete without someone suggesting that what the theater really needs is a good new mystery thriller. Perhaps it does, but The Astrakhan Coat is not very good, only superficially new, and never particularly thrilling. Even avid whodunit fans must be a trifle bored by corpses in trunks, corpses that drop out of closets, and the confetti-like strewing of misleading clues.

At week's end Chou flew up to Rawalpindi and was warmly greeted by handsome Ayub Khan, wearing a jaunty astrakhan hat. Here the street banners read DOWN WITH INDIAN IMPERIALISM IN KASHMIR, but if they were intended to prod Chou into a public expression of support against India, they failed. The two leaders toasted each other with gold-edged crystal goblets, were served by a retinue of turbaned, white-clad waiters...
Even one of Nasser's enemies in the Arab world-the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan-showed signs last week of being discreetly available. In his stone Basman Palace in Amman, guarded by Circassian troopers in astrakhan hats, Jordan's King Hussein deftly shifted Prime Ministers. Out went muscular Wasfi Tal, 43, an efficient but Nasser-hating administrator. In came Jordan's "man of crises,'' five-time Prime Minister Samir Rifai, 62, who has been campaigning in recent months for more democracy inside Jordan and an end to antagonism against Nasser...
