...U.C.L.A. both Presidents donned cap and gown to receive honorary doctor of laws degrees. Later they flew to Palm Springs, called on Dwight Eisenhower (it was, said Ike, "just an evening with old friends") and settled down to private talks. The agenda inevitably included disarmament, the lagging Alliance for Progress, what to do about Panama and Cuba, but no treaties were signed, no formal decisions taken. Now that the Chamizal dispute on the Rio Grande has been settled, Mexico and the U.S. have few major outstanding disagreements.

...like he thought everyone looked at Harvard," says Grossman. And it is hoped that the floundering hat industry, for which Kennedy's wind-blown look did nothing, will revive under the ten-gallon-Texan inspiration of President Johnson.

...considerable skill, Paley displays his albums to guests at home. In the kind of company he usually keeps, he is hardly picture-dropping, but a casual flip of the pages turns up some remarkable names and moments: Anthony Eden, thin as wire, stretched out in a bathing suit at Cap d'Antibes during a sojourn with the Paleys in 1953; Pablo Picasso, trying to look rakish and dashing as he stands to be photographed beside Mrs. Paley...
