...network's cameras had a look at almost everything in the 65-acre Kremlin compound, from the old Cathedral of the Archangel to the new glass-fagaded Soviet Palace of Congresses. There were glances at the Spartan rooms of Lenin, the spare embellishments of Stalin's new grave, and the fantastic Great Hall of St. George, with its huge chandeliers of what look like bunches of gold bananas...
...troupe of Boxer sword dancers who had terrified the guests with their choreographic snickersnee until Heston got into the act and threatened to slice the fattest of the group into Boxer shorts. Next morning the German ambassador gets a sword right in the middle of the international compound, and Samuel Bronston's spectacularized version of the Boxer Rebellion is under...
...demoralized diplomats are all for pulling out when the fireworks begin, but Ambassador Niven-gnawing his mustache to denote deep thought-counsels them to stay put, walk softly and hope for the best. Soon hordes of murderous Boxers swarm over the compound, knifing, shooting, burning.

In two days snugly ensconced in the Kennedy compound at Hyannisport, Mass., he will stay in Bobby Kennedy's digs, just a football pass across the lawn from the President's own home, and the talk will go on over poached eggs at breakfast, at bull sessions lounging in overstuffed chairs, and during walks along the beach. The U.S. President wants to brief Pearson on how things look around the world, discuss trade expansion and reach some understanding on nuclear arms...
