Literally the closest man to Khrushchev coast to coast will be Oleg Troyanovsky, 38, his personal interpreter and probably the best Russian-English linguist in the world. Troyanovsky, son of ex-Czarist Officer Alexander Troyanovsky, who was the U.S.S.R.'s first Ambassador to Washington (1934-38), attended the Quakers' Sidwell Friends School in Washington ("Blessed with that charm, the certainty to please," said the student quarterly), put in his freshman year at Swarthmore before returning to Moscow University. Troyanovsky first appeared in the Kremlin big picture as Stalin's interpreter in the 1947 conference with U.S. General...
...Paris last week, the Premiers of the twelve African states that belong to the French Community solemnly marched up the steps of the Elysee Palace to the accompaniment, of ruffles and nourishes from the silver-helmeted Garde Republi-caine. When they finally marched down again, the Ivory Coast's Premier Felix Houphouet-Boigny beamingly announced: "We are unanimous in approving and supporting President de Gaulle in his Algerian policy as he has revealed it to us." Appetite whetted by such entrancing tidbits, all France waited this week for Charles de Gaulle to disclose his new plan for ending...

But by the time it finishes its 48-day, eight-city, coast-to-coast tour next month, Buick '60, Buick's slick, sales-gimmick musical, will have run up a road record that few Broadway hits can approach: almost every performance a hot-ticket, S.R.O. sellout...
Today Sir Donald would have to take another reading. Baroque is a growing fashion, so popular that chamber music groups, armed with a baroque repertory, have popped up in towns from coast to coast, and record companies are cashing in on the boom. With hi-fi to bring out the delicate riches, the companies have issued no fewer than 173 baroque chamber works this year alone. Bach and Handel get their full share and there is also a growing list of lesser Italian composers and "forgotten geniuses" for the ordinary music lover to hear and enjoy...
