...been the visit to the Libertyville, Ill., home of Adlai Stevenson. In the pleasantly chaotic informality of Stevenson's home, the President and Mrs. Touré escaped for the first time the stiffness of state visit protocol. Stevenson's lone maid bustled about getting food and drink ready while the Touré party inspected the Halloween jack-o'-lanterns which leered in through the windows from the dark and rain outside. (Stevenson had carved some of them himself at breakfast time.) The conversation wandered amiably from such subjects as Touré's speaking style...
...amounting to at least $14 million, Lowell M. Birrell, 52, is still living it up in Rio. Last week he whiled away the balmy tropical evenings in the company of beautiful women at the Copacabana Palace, Le Bon Gourmet and other nightspots, spending upwards of $200 a night on food, drink and fun.

Virtually every major Italian city has at least one supermarket-and plans for more. Two supermarkets are operating in Turin, two more in Bologna, another two in Naples. Rome alone has seven supermarkets. Last week Italy's big La Rinascente department-store chain jumped into the field, bought Rome's big Supermercato S.p.A. for a reported $750,000, and expects...
...yesterday's observers reported that almost 400 of the 466 students who ate at Lowell House last night came back for seconds or took two helpings the first time around. The researchers also checked the speed of the lines, and studied what food was eaten and what was discarded. These surveyors will use the same analysis if an temporary, self-service line is installed...
