...London's Economist soberly noted last week, "by the time he got it home, Mr. Macmillan's diplomatic luggage was pretty light." In the face of French, German and U.S. skepticism, Macmillan had dropped one pet concept after another. In the beginning the British press, taking its cue from the Macmillan-Khrushchev communiqué which mentioned a possible limitation of weapons "in an agreed area of Europe," had talked eagerly of steps toward "disengagement" of Western and Soviet forces in Central Europe. Macmillan's aides diluted this to a "thinning out" of the military, and finally...
...historical masterpiece. Within, it is a massive square room, spanned by two colossal, diagonal, arched timber beams. Outside, broad overhanging eaves, reminiscent of a Japanese temple, project over glass screen walls decorated with exuberant Gothic motifs. It might have proved a nightmare of clashing styles. But Maybeck took his cue from his materials and kept his eye on the site. As a result, the church appears to float from the surrounding hedges, ornamented by its own shadows and highlights and finished for all time...
...Atlantic City's Steel Pier, lit up and went into a 15-minute "performance" controlled by an impressive set of electronic equipment behind the scenes. Three minutes and ten seconds after the deep, resonant voice on the sound track began the story of Gethsemane came the cue: "He turned to his disciples and they were sleeping"; at this point the head of the papier-mache figure of Christ slowly turned.

Taking a cue from the successful Diners' Club (TIME, Sept. 22), some 200 banks have shuffled themselves into the credit-card game. Last week Georgia's ten hard-selling Citizens & Southern National Banks popped out the latest variation, advertised "Instant MONEY-Cash Loans Within 20 Seconds." The C. & S. device is a charge card that enables one to draw immediate cash up to thousands of dollars from any C. & S. teller's window, or to charge consumer goods at 1,000 Georgia stores...
...While he may be mathematically precise at times, frequently he gives the pianist his head, allowing him to vary the written notes rhythmically or even choose notes of his own. In the shorter work he sets up a kind of game between the two pianists--each must follow a cue given by the other, and each has a certain number of alternatives for every cue. Wolff is writing for his performers quite as much as for his audience. In discussing this technique he does not refer to Western precedent, but talks about Hindu instrumental virtuosos, who play complicated rhythmic games...
