...brief visit, there has been no American at the U.N. to match the glamour or personal flamboyance of a Khrushchev, Macmillan, Nehru or Nkrumah. Secretary of State Christian Herter and U.N. Ambassador James Wadsworth doggedly maintain the U.S. position in debates, but have shown little inclination for genial politicking in the Delegates Lounge. The U.S. aloofness was a deliberate and official policy. The argument: with the heavy agenda of the 15th General Assembly, the U.S. hoped to set a lofty example of hard work...

This week, from the obscurity of his back...
...weight lifting. Russia's genial Alexander Kurynov. 26, had always venerated Hawaii's two-time Olympic Champion Tommy Kono, 30. as one of the world's great athletes. Matched against Kono in the middleweight division, the Russian research scientist quickly forgot his hero worship, scored one of the Olympics' notable upsets by breaking Kono's world record, surpassing him by 22 Ibs., with a total of 964½ Ibs. in three lifts, and taking the gold medal...
