Previous Positions. By week's end Mikoyan got down to hard cases with two men who, while entirely willing to listen, shared none of the loose optimism about the real purposes of Mikoyan's visit. The men: John Foster Dulles and Dwight Eisenhower. Mustache bristling and a thoughtful scowl replacing a fortnight's smile, Mikoyan was ushered into Secretary of State Dulles' beige and rose office for a lengthy talk before he called at the White House. Conversation touched on many points, e.g., the Geneva conferences, the whereabouts of eleven U.S. flyers still missing after...

It was an artificial leg, of the sort the plaintiff would have to wear for the rest of her life. The jury returned an award...
...week's end, the officials of the London Transport had completely surrendered. It promised that Underground passengers will no longer be ordered about "like a lot of bloomin' cattle," and agreed "whenever possible" to tell travelers via public address systems at all main stations the reason why they are being asked to leave a train...
