Humphrey settled by arranging to meet everyone in the office of Under Secretary of State Christian Herter right after his special midafternoon news conference.

Flushed with success, Reventlow returned to New York and a rendezvous with Starlet Jill St. John, on whose pretty finger he had placed a spectacular ring set with 100 diamonds. There were marriage rumors, but Reventlow declared a more serious ambition: developing a smaller-engined car to compete on the international Grand Prix circuit...
