Yugoslavia's Communist President Tito has long hankered to tread Washington's official red carpet. He almost got there as Eisenhower's guest in 1957, but church groups, veterans' organizations and politicians raised such a fuss that his proposed state visit was called off. He got as far as Manhattan in 1960, when he addressed the United Nations and chatted with Ike at the Waldorf-Astoria. But still nobody asked him to come on down to Washington-and Tito's feelings were hurt. Last week, at the invitation of President Kennedy, Tito, 71, finally made...
Tangle of Doom. The fuss began over a German performance of Phaedra, Graham's "phantasmagoria of desire" (TIME, March 16, 1962), that Congresswoman Edna Kelly from Brooklyn found "distasteful." One morning's hearing in Washington was enough to establish Graham's artistic merit, and she dismissed the affair with a sharp coup de grâce: "I feel as if I had been pawed by dirty hands."

...more than 4% for the second straight year. Says one top Ruhr industrialist: "Though the vetoing of Britain was a deep and painful psychological shock, it has had no direct effect on our business." Nor has it affected Europe's tariff-cutting schedule. European governments in July, without fuss or furore, cut tariffs among their countries another 10%, bringing the total tariff reduction to 60% since the Common Market began...
...swim, presumably engineered by some of his rivals for the prime ministership-or even by Harold Macmillan, who is sounding increasingly reluctant to step down. When the bill reached the Lords, they voted to amend it to make it effective as soon as the Queen approved. To avoid a fuss, the Tory Party went along with the amendment in the Commons...
