...Chalk Circles. Son of the Anglican curate of Piccadilly's fashionable St. James's Church, Vassall was a lower-echelon Admiralty clerk with talents so mediocre he had been passed over for promotion seven years running. He was also, said his defense attorney in a plea for mitigation, a man with "a weakness which has been with him ever since he came into this life." His weakness did not get him into real trouble until 1955, when he was with the British naval attache's office in Moscow. At a dinner party arranged by a Pole, Vassall...
...close friends of the artist. There was a startling psychological study of Lenin, done in 1921, which captures his aggressive intelligence. From Pasternak's later period in Berlin there was a sketch of a dark-haired, mustachioed Albert Einstein playing the violin. Most of the 82 charcoal, pastel, chalk and red pencil drawings in the show demonstrated Pasternak's talent for capturing a fleeting moment of gentleness and humanity-a talent that made many an aging visitor stop, catch his breath and murmur: "Ah, that is the way I knew him too."

The line lured many Puerto Rico passengers away from bigger Eastern and Pan American by combining lower fares with free box lunches on economy runs and by putting on in-flight entertainment. The first U.S. charter airline since World War II to be certified by the Civil Aeronautics Board for scheduled flights, Trans Caribbean last week won a three-year MATS contract to fly service families to Europe. To handle the $3,500,000 worth of business that it is guaranteed...
That Old Look. Once his new publishing chain shakes down, Roy Chalk will almost surely want more money. His philosophy is to keep what he buys and look around for more. Just where he will turn next he will not confide, but does admit to a continuing interest in the still struggling New York City transit system. Says he with that pocketa-pocketa look in his eyes: "I'm a patient man, and I'm interested...
