...ranged from a buxom nurse giving a G.I. a shot of penicillin to a Communist guerrilla with his intestines exposed by mortar fire. The next day I stomped flat eleven empty cans. We stuck mostly to Campbell soup cans, but threw in a sweet potato can and a cardboard chow mein container for originality. These I nailed to the walnut paneling above the fireplace. When my wife returned from her trip to a nearby drive-in, we took the hamburgers and a single hot dog and affixed them to the north wall of the dining room, then stood back...
...barn. Guests wandered from house to tent to barn, from tables to dance floor, from bar to buffet, all the while meeting and greeting people whose faces they recognized. A nearby polo field was transformed into a vast parking lot complete with a fire engine, two tow trucks, a chow tent for chauffeurs, overhead electric lighting, and a walkie-talkie system to call cars. Close touch was maintained with the U.S. Weather Bureau (it sprinkled on Sunday), and a doctor and registered nurse were on hand in case any of the 1,000 or so guests suddenly took...

In Tokyo, the Japanese can buy Munsingwear undershorts, though U.S. textilemakers complain that the Japanese underprice them around the world. The Chun King Corp. of Duluth, Minn., recently began shipping chow mein in cans to Formosa. In less bizarre ways, too, some resourceful U.S. businessmen are expanding exports, which in the second quarter hit $5.5 billion, up 10% from 1961's second quarter. June was the best month for exports in five years...
