...HANDSOME Westchester matron, chic in a Hattie Carnegie dress and fragrant with Patou's Moment Suprême, passed TIME Editor James C. Keogh in New York's Grand Central Terminal, humming: "Da-vy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier!" In Beverly Hills, startled Furrier Al Teitelbaum told TIME Correspondent Ezra Goodman that a movie matron had handed him a mink stole and ordered it cut into "coonskin" caps for her two sons...
...Shame!" In the National Guard Armory the air was fragrant with thousands of blossoms. Soft music wafted across the dappled, indoor, 1¾ acres, and Ike's entrance caused a mob scene. The President's first stop was at a 5O-ft. bower of white tulips, English boxwood, azaleas, dogwood and rhododendron, which had been planted in honor of Mamie and would be transplanted intact to the Eisenhower farm in Gettysburg, Pa. Ike was particularly impressed by a shoulder-high serpentine wall that enclosed the garden; he had never seen one before...
...Patterson (by Charles Sebree and Greer Johnson) chronicles the tangled real life and fragrant dream life of adolescence. There is good reason for Teddy Hicks's flights from reality: a 15-year-old Negro girl whose father deserted her mother (well played by Ruth Attaway), Teddy lives in ramshackle poverty.

Over fragrant tea and flanked by Chou and the party's chief theoretician, Liu Shao-chi, Mao-asked solicitously if they were tired from their rounds, and Franklin admitted that all of them together would not make one "Model Worker." But Mao was in a serious mood. ("He would make an outstanding labor negotiator," said Earn-shaw.) Blandly, he laid on the line his terms for coexistence. He wanted Attlee to ask the U.S. to 1) withdraw the U.S. Seventh Fleet...
...face edged with long black hair, Mao came forward to shake hands with each member of the Laborite delegation; he inquired courteously after their health, and concerned himself whether or not they were enjoying their visit. Amid the City's glaze work and its splendid vases, cups of fragrant tea were served. Then Mao, flanked by the party's chief theoretician, Liu Shao-chi, and by Premier Chou Enlai, began to speak. Before them in a hall where Chinese emperors once received their vassals, Clement Attlee and his Britons settled back into overstuffed chairs...
