...outgrowth of the conviction last December of John G. Broady, Manhattan lawyer and private eye (TIME, Dec. 19), on wiretapping charges. Among Broady's clients: a Wildenstein Vice President, Emmanuel J. Rousuck, 55. In court testimony, Rousuck -as an individual-admitted hiring Wiretapper Broady to put a bug on the telephone of Art Dealer Rudolph Heinemann, who frequently works with Knoedler's in top-drawer transactions.

...nears its peak, U.S. vacationists are on the move -about their own country and on record invasions of foreign shores. The travelers, according to reports from all our sources, are devoting themselves mostly to just plain fun, like the newlyweds motoring down the Loire Valley in a rented new bug-model Citroen, the bald Philadelphian sipping vermouth and eying the Italian beauties strolling along Rome's Via Veneto, or the middle-aged sportsmen playing at being matadors in Madrid's new bullfighting cafe...
