Arriving in New Delhi, U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren and his wife received a warm, top-drawer greeting as a platoon of Cabinet ministers, a horde of judges and a mass of minor officials swarmed at the airport under a broiling sun and presented the visitors with six bouquets of flowers and batches of garlands. It was a command performance. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had been shown a dispatch printed in a U.S. newspaper reporting the cool kiss-off the Warrens had gotten when they arrived...
...this was disillusioning to the school's creator, Kansas-born Henry Earl Diffenderfer, 41, now Director of Education for the U.S. Civil Administration on Okinawa.

The key to good convention coverage is to move in early with an experienced staff and canvass scores of sources day and night...
...years before Robertson's purchase, Killarney had been owned by the Earls of Kenmare, who had jealously guarded the natural beauty made famous by poet, musician and tourist. Then two months ago, after the last Earl had died, his heir, Mrs. Beatrice Grosvenor, was forced to put 8,500 acres of the 9,000-acre estate up for sale so that she could pay off a ?70,000 ($196,000) inheritance tax. But she could find no buyer. Irishmen in Dublin, afraid that Killarney would fall into unsympathetic hands, started a fund-raising campaign, could raise only...
