Even the solo performances took on the glamour of major production. New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman and Eleanor Roosevelt, both Khrushchev's guests in Russia who doubtless had said politely, "Come and see me if you're ever in America," found themselves with protocol-sized problems-Harriman with a reception in his Manhattan apartment, Mrs. R. with a tour of the F.D.R. home at Hyde Park. Khrush's favorite U.S. farmer, Roswell Garst of Coon Rapids, Iowa, placated photographers by trying on a coat given him by Khrushchev in Moscow last March, finally decided...
...must suffer the first blow in any future war. This is basically a defensive strategy, keyed to what a lover of Westerns would recognize as the "virtue [of] drawing second and killing your man." It rests on a massive atomic counterblow-"one of the most unlimited and inhumane strategies ever devised by man."

Result: an entirely different breed of students, with widely varying abilities. No educational system in history has ever been presented with a broader job-or opportunity...
Vatican Radio last week confirmed what Protestants have suspected ever since Catholic observers held "informal" discussions with Eastern Orthodox delegates at the World Council of Churches meeting in Rhodes last month (TIME, Aug. 31 et seq.). There will be an unofficial conference in Venice next year between Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologians to discuss points of agreement and disagreement between the two churches. The main-and massive-stumbling block to possible union: recognition of the Pope as head of the church...
