...dacha next day, Nixon and Khrushchev issued a joint statement protesting that their exchange at the U.S. exhibition, while "frank," was not "belligerent." Then Khrushchev took his guests for a ride on the Moscow River in a 25-ft. motor boat. Eight times Khrushchev had the boat stopped so that he and Nixon could talk to groups of bathers on the beaches along the river, and each time, with broken-record repetition, the same thing happened. Khrushchev would point out the bathers to Nixon as "captive people"; they would yell "nyet, nyet," and Khrushchev would grin, nudge Nixon...
...critical committee session, Arizona's Stewart Udall and New Jersey's Frank Thompson Jr. rallied the ten Rayburn Democrats behind the relatively adequate committee bill. They teamed themselves with Republicans, sometimes with union-bloc Democrats to kill off seven substitute bills offered in fast succession.

...Hole in the Head (Sincap; United Artists) is just what famed Filmaster Frank Capra (It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town) needed this picture like-unless, after an eight-year absence from moviemaking, it was only money he was after. The story about a Jewish family has undergone nearly every possible treatment by Author Arnold Schulman (one-act play, TV script, a novel, two full-length plays, one of which made Broadway) except maybe a synopsis baked inside a Chinese fortune cookie...
...Truex managed to finish, and then they too went into that eerie dance of exhaustion. Both Americans were rushed to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, the Russian to his hotel room, and all three were given intravenous injections of water, salt, sugar and vitamins. Said U.S. Track Coach Frank Potts: "When you get American and Russian athletes together, nobody's kidding. Those boys were either going to win or bust a gut. They busted...
