Ointment, Not Lash. Now, in the space of one year, he himself had translated the Dulles words into the Dulles deed: the Japanese Treaty (TIME, Jan. 22 et seq.). It was not yet an accomplished fact; the treaty still teetered in the balance of events.

His wife Edna Mae was uneasy about him: "Sugar's tired. He's overtrained and overfought." Meanwhile, Britain's Middleweight Champion Randy Turpin, on the eve of the fight of his life, made a soberly restrained prediction: "I think I have a chance." Nevertheless, the odds were 3-1-on Sugar Ray when the men climbed into the ring at Earl's Court in London last week...
...five weeks, a troupe of Russia's top artists have been whirling about Italy, concertizing and dancing to the uproarious approval of music fans (TIME, June 25 et seq.). Last week the Italian government reminded the Russian embassy that the tourists' one-month visas had expired...
