Slow Readers. Khrushchev has praised a thrifty mixture of manure and factory fertilizers devised by Lysenko as "proved in the field." Most recently, in a gamble to achieve higher production through shortcuts, Khrushchev has backed a plan to send out hybrid bulls bred at "Lysenko's farm" to boost Soviet butterfat production. At last month's Central Committee meeting on agriculture, Lysenko told how he tried to get the Agriculture Ministry to act on his plan. Khrushchev interrupted: "What did the Ministry reply to you?" Lysenko: "Recently, in January, they signed an order." "And when did you write...
...Rusk is needed to coordinate policy in Washington, though that is also true. The question is whether Kennedy will be pressured into the kind of thinking that characterized and crippled the conduct of diplomacy under Eisenhower.

Such Ransom-bred vitality has already attracted a rising generation of bright young teachers who like what they find at Texas. "The good students here are damned good students," says French Professor Roger Shattuck, a former Harvard Junior Fellow...
...smitten with the well-bred Spanish beauty of Beatriz María Julia, Patiño capped a long campaign to be legally free by obtaining a Mexican divorce. At that, Princess Maria Cristina decided no settlement, no divorce, and sued for a sizable chunk of the Patiño fortune on the reasonably sound ground that, as a Bolivian, Patiño is subject to the Bolivian law that foreign divorces are legal only when the nation in which the marriage was performed (in this case, divorceless Spain) permits divorce...
