...polished. In Britain the President would go on TV with Harold Macmillan and rest a night as the Queen's guest on the Scottish hills of Balmoral. In Bonn some 150,000 school children provided with paper flags would get the day off to line the streets and cheer Ike's arrival. German officials scurried around for a limousine large enough to squeeze an interpreter as well as a secret policeman in alongside Ike and Chancellor Adenauer, so that on the 45-minute trip from the airport the two statesmen would not have to sit in silence because...
From coast to coast, fans are flocking to see every minute of the most exciting baseball season in years. In San Francisco, stockbrokers, merchants and plain workers are getting away from their offices early to go out to Seals Stadium and cheer home the National League-leading Giants. In Chicago, when the American League-leading White Sox get a man aboard, the rhythmical clapping swells into waves, and a chant rolls out of the stands: "Go - go - go!" Much more than two pennant races is fascinating the fans this summer. Teams far down in the standings have somehow taken...
Despite last week's O.K. on new competition, U.S. lines found some cheer in the decisions. They showed a real change in U.S. policy to conform to the new competitive facts.

"This plane or some other one." he shrugged. "That is not a question of principle." How soon did he want to visit the U.S.? "When the time is ripe," said Nikita. "In good time...
...Saturday 100,000 Viennese (who had otherwise treated the affair with distaste or indifference) turned out to watch the festival's big parade. They found nothing to cheer about until, near the end of the monotonous succession of national delegations, the ragged-rank bunch of 100 U.S. fellow travelers passed by-followed closely by six non-Communist Americans who, as they entered Heroes Square, broke out signs reading "Remember Hungary," "Remember Tibet" and "We're Against Soviet Colonialism." The crowd gave the half dozen a tremendous ovation before Austrian and Italian Communists swarmed in and knocked them...
