Vital Negotiations. "We handed Khrushchev the crowbar and sledge hammer to wreck this meeting," said he, in an angry speech in Chicago. "Without our series of blunders, Mr. Khrushchev would not have the pretext for making his impossible demand and his wild charges." Stevenson suggested that the Democrats could best negotiate with the Russians. "The Administration has acutely embarrassed our allies and endangered our bases," said he. "They have helped make successful negotiations with the Russians-negotiations that are vital to our survival-impossible so long as they are in power. We cannot sweep this whole sorry mess under...
...trickiest carpentry job of the year belongs to the man who will have to hammer together a campaign platform for the much-splintered Democratic Party. Last week National Chairman Paul Butler picked a platform chairman who, like Butler, 1 ) wants a strong civil rights plank, and 2) is on record as supporting Jack Kennedy for the presidency.

...came Karandash, Russia's greatest clown, lost in a flapping green suit, grotesque beneath a scarlet wig, riding a donkey fitted with handle bars. He tumbled off, pulled out a hammer and a plate and began a flurry of legerdemain that ended in a sidesplitting snarl of chaos and shattered crockery. In blue tights flashing with gold, the three blonde Balakin sisters spun aluminum hoops in a shimmering blur. To the frantic rhythms of Khachaturian's Saber Dance, the three Gratchevs flung whole tribes of Indian clubs at one another while wobbling on a rope strung between...
