...celebration in 1947. "Truman was still Ike's boss at the time," recalls Richards, "but I told him when I snapped the picture that he might well have a Republican on his right as well as his left." ··· Stoically stowing away an on-the-run diet of rice trimmed with goat intestines, chicken heads and "thousand-day-old" eggs, Peace Corps Director R. Sargent Shriver, 46, roughed his way by helicopter and Jeep through a 25-day, 10,000-mile tour of the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya, Sarawak and North Borneo to see how his troops were...
Better Billing. Son of a Roman baker, Stuarti came to the U.S. when he was 13, later survived the wartime torpedoing of a Liberty ship before he settled down to a diet of slim pickings on Broadway-supporting roles and choruses. He had no better luck touring small nightclubs and occasionally appearing on television. He seemed to hit bottom in 1960 when he recorded a slow-selling album titled A Tribute to Mario Lanza, with his own name printed in minuscule letters across the bottom of the jacket. Stuarti's rising fortunes, as a matter of fact...
...Meos were the worst," said robust Grant Wolfkill. "They ran around like wild men, always looking for an excuse to kill us." When they got bored, the tribesmen would fire machine-gun bursts into the cell; the trio were kept in heavy wooden stocks "like Salem witches." Their steady diet: rice and salt.

Despite their hardships, the five who came back were fortunate. American officials in Laos have been unable...
...everyone is making a fair profit, or intended to. The admission-free pavilions of the U.S. and foreign countries were not designed to earn anything except prestige. (But one Belgian baker has become a smash success, turning out diet-demolishing waffles piled high with whipped cream, strawberries and powdered sugar.) Some marginal carny operators on the fair's "Gayway" are described by Fair President Joseph E. Gandy, 58, as "sick cats," since the fair has proven to be more of a family occasion than a peep show...
...Diets & Balloons. The summer news slump is not readily susceptible to solution. The New York Times's Assistant Managing Editor Theodore Bernstein merely ignores the annual doldrums, secure in the knowledge that the U.S.'s fattest paper always goes on a summer diet: from June to September the Times is ten columns leaner than in the cool months. (The headlines are leaner too. At week's end, the paper's major front-page news story, in column eight, had not supported more than a one-column head since July 26.) Eric Franklin, the Boston Traveler...
