...summit meeting had been torpedoed. Butthere was another countercheck-quarrelsome yet to come-cancellation of Ike's invitation to Moscow. "Conditions have now arisen," said Khrushchev coldly, "which make us unable to welcome the President with the proper warmth which Soviet people display toward fond guests. The Soviet people neither know how to dissemble nor wish to do so. We therefore consider that the U.S. President's visit to the Soviet Union should now be postponed and that the time for such a visit should be agreed upon when conditions are ripe...
...chill of autumn-but the time is 1960. Dressing up is this family's mildest eccentricity. Beautiful Eleonore is devoted to her husband Hugo, but this has never prevented her from seducing every male cousin who comes to visit.

Should Johnson find the nomination...
...Heroes. The Theatre Guild's President Lawrence Langner thinks that scripts cater to parochial Broadway tastes, insists that the rest of the nation is not so fond of rape, reefers and sodomy. His views won front-page attention in a recent issue of Variety under the banner: FOLKS DON'T DIG THAT FREUD. And Broadway Critic John Chapman has been offering a similar warning: the theater is in atrophy, he suggests, because it has lost faith in the spirit...
