...Andrews Air Force Base. 15 miles southeast of Washington, the Soviet Premier will be welcomed to U.S. soil by President Dwight Eisenhower and other Government and military leaders. Metropolitan police. Secret Service and State Department security officers will line his route from the airport to Blair House, his official guest quarters across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. A minimum number of Soviet red flags will be displayed by the U.S. in Washington; there will be no parades through red-flag-decked streets. On his first night, Khrushchev will attend a formal dinner given by the President, and the next...

The six miles of beach at Le Lavandou were body-covered; the bodies were oil-covered; the oil, sand-covered. At bohemian St.-Tropez, with fewer than 1,000 guest rooms, some 20,000 tourists nevertheless found shelter. Françoise Sagan left for the relative calm of Normandy; Brigitte Bardot was pregnant. Saint-Trop has nearly as many candlelit cellar clubs as the Left Bank, and the vogue has spread along the coast as far as Nice, where the Gorilla Club...
