...McKone landed at Washington in weather that surely reminded the men of their Moscow winter. But once they walked down the steps from their plane, tossed a brisk salute to President Kennedy and located their wives, snow and the cutting wind were of no concern. Oblivious to Air Force brass and Government dignitaries turned out to do them honor, both officers kissed their wives with unabashed enthusiasm. The McKones held a long, long embrace. The first kiss left a great smear of lipstick around the flyer's mouth. Connie McKone clasped her husband's face in her gloved...
...later as a director and vice president in charge of news and special events, he lent the same organ-toned quality to such TV shows as Person to Person and See It Now (both programs have since been dropped). Because of apparent differences on policy with the network brass, he took a sabbatical in 1959, popped up again last year to take on a new documentary series, CBS Reports.

The music is well-integrated throughout, reflecting the tasteful editing of Stern and Aram Avakian. The cumulative effect is excellent...
Eight years after Navy brass tried to push him into premature retirement, Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, father of the atomic submarine, was summoned to the deck of the Nautilus, his first nuclear offspring, to receive the Distinguished Service Medal, highest peacetime award in the Navy's gift. In the six years since Nautilus was commissioned, Rickover's atomic family has grown fast: last week's medal-pinning ceremony was coupled with the keel laying of the Lafayette, 34th ship in the nation's awesomely lethal nuclear underseas fleet...
