...Khrushchev official party had reached almost 100, headed up by his wife, Nina, sixtyish; two daughters, Julia, 38, and Rada, 29: son Sergei, 24; and son-in-law, Aleksei Adzhubei. Then State turned to making arrangements for some 300 U.S. newsmen who have applied to follow the grand tour...
Cold Calculation. But Rosensohn was proving even more embarrassing in his explanation than in his promotion. Testifying before District Attorney Frank Hogan's grand jury ("I have nothing to hide''), he finally admitted that the real power behind the Patterson-Johansson fight was Harlem's Anthony ("Tony Fat") Salerno, 48, according to Hogan "a known gambler, bookmaker and policy operator," and a friend of Frankie Carbo, leading light in boxing's dim underworld.

...more versatile. Within a year RCA will bring out a "hear-see" stereo-TV attachment that will run video tapes, e.g., Hamlet, on regular TV sets, bring ex-Teacher Burns closer to his highest goal: teaching by TV. He wants all the nation's schools linked in one grand educational network, starring the best U.S. teachers, who would be paid as much as Burns himself ($170,000). For the blue-sky future, Burns is pushing the development of simple "thermoelectric"' air conditioners with no moving parts, space vehicles. TV systems that will peer to the stars...
