Lear had done nothing that any other private U.S. citizen could not do, since the U.S. no longer requires specific State Department permission to visit Russia. As for Lear's Cessna, it carried nothing on the secret list. Though Lear's equipment was indeed banned from direct sale to Russia or its satellites, it can be bought in the U.S. and in many European countries...
...melting pot has never known anything like the Puerto Rican. For one thing, he is a U.S. citizen by birth, though he may never get to know more than a word or two of English.

One prime civic project: some 200 of its citizens regularly exchange correspondence, art and books with those of Rosenheim. Germany, and in the last year, high schools...
Walter Reutker, 48, vice president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., president of its United Auto Workers, another 1952 Stevenson backer. Reuther has taken no official stand this year, is presumed still to like Adlai. But his anti-moderate attitude on civil rights sounds more and more like Harriman. Says Reuther: "Citizen Walter Reuther will not support the Democratic Party nationally if that party attempts to be all things to all men on civil rights...
