The result looks as if the Mona Lisa were about to emerge from some sort of wooden cocoon...
After nine days of waiting, Lester B. Pearson at last got to wear his formal cutaway to pay the traditional call on Canada's Governor General.

Until the last minute, no one was quite sure whether Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who loves office so much, would go quietly or cling in defeat to the vestiges of power.

Dapper, handsome Dr. Erich Mende, leader of the Free Democrats, sat perkily in a front-row seat. Pink-cheeked Dr. Erhard barely said good morning to Adenauer, and glanced casually through a newspaper during the Chancellor's brief speech...
