...neighboring Thailand, he was tactially informed that his favorite white sharkskin suit would not be proper at the Royal Thai court. He dispatched an aide on an emergency trip to Hong Kong, but when Diem took one look at the Western-style cutaway, striped pants and grey top hat that the aide brought back, he snorted in disgust and refused to wear them...
After two days of wreath-laying, factory tours and hat-waving parades through largely deserted streets, it became apparent that the Khrushchev party had not come to Berlin to offer any dazzling scheme for German reunification that might sway West Germany's election against Chancellor Adenauer next month.

Nattily rigged in a Panama hat, General Douglas MacArthur led his wife and 19-year-old son Arthur (who will be a sophomore at Columbia) 30 blocks from their Manhattan apartment to a hotel ballroom rented by Sperry Rand, the firm he heads as board chairman.

But fashion is as fickle on the beaches as in the salons of Paris. College girls spending their spring vacations in Bermuda and Nassau this year discovered the virtues of the man's straw hat, enthusiastically spread the fad through whole campuses-and delighted straw hat manufacturers.
