...candidates who prominently shared the spotlight with Dwight Eisenhower when the President flew down to Lexington last week looked more like State Department types than Kentucky politicians. Actually they are both: former U.S. Ambassador to India John Sherman Cooper, dignified and urbane, is running for the four-year unexpired Senate term of the late Alben Barkley; Thruston (pronounced throo-ston) B. Morton, clean-cut and sharp, was John Foster Dulles' assistant for congressional relations before he decided to oppose Democratic Incumbent Earle Clements for Kentucky's second seat...
When Marshal Tito flew into the Crimea to take a brief "vacation" at Russia's First Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev's sunny Yalta villa, he did not expect to meet so many old comrades. The emphasis of the eight-day talk in Nikita's parlor and in Yalta's woods and hills was on "comradeship" among the European Communist Parties. A thoughtful Tito, as he flew back to Belgrade one day last week, must have been brooding deeply about how comradely an independent Yugoslav Communist could afford to be.

Last month he visited the Salzburg Festival, darted over to Lucerne for another festival (he conducted a Mozart program), then flew on to the island of Ischia in the bay of Naples, where he rested for a few days. From there he sailed his 50-ton yacht (crew of three) to Portofino, motored to Genoa, hopped a plane to Zurich, got into his waiting silver-grey Mercedes 300 SL and soloed at a breakneck 90 m.p.h. back to Lucerne for rehearsals and a concert, then caught a plane for West Berlin...
...Shiaty, who speaks good Italian, barked his first orders: "Avanti adagio, venti a diritta" (Slow ahead, 20 degrees rudder to the right). We moved slowly past the statue of Canal Builder Ferdinand de Lesseps with bronze arm outstretched, past the white-colonnaded canal headquarters where the green Egyptian flag flew proudly from the mast, past a pair of Egyptian navy corvettes acquired from the British in better times...
