...that Menshikov had been tailoring his reports on the U.S. so as to fit Kremlin conceptions, and that he was trying to justify his misreporting during the Khrushchev visit. When Khrushchev received a cap as a gift on the West Coast, Menshikov went into elaborate detail about the Italian hat industry's being far superior. Spotting a small cloud in the sky on a lovely Los Angeles day, Menshikov muttered to Khrushchev the Russian equivalent of "smog, smog." It was Menshikov who insisted that Khrushchev be driven through Harlem slums, accused U.S. escort officers of trying to "hide...
...Drop of a Hat is the two-man "afterdinner farrago" that ran in London for 759 performances. The two men are Michael Flanders, who is vivacious and bearded and sails about in a wheelchair, and Donald Swann, who is mousy and bespectacled and stays put at the piano. Flanders wrote the words for the songs they sing, Swann the music. Flanders also does the talking between songs, which is now and then at Swann's expense.

West Germany's patriarchal (83) Chancellor Konrad Adenauer journeyed last week to Cologne's Roon-Strasse and the site of a synagogue first battered by the Nazis and later demolished by Allied bombs.

The crook grabbed the loot and ran, little knowing that he had been seen by his victim-none other than Track Great Jesse Owens, who burned up the 1936 Olympics. Balding and 30 Ibs. heavier at 46 than in his running days, Illinois Youth Commission Member Owens raced down a flight of stairs, nailed his quarry in roughly 100 yds., failed to clock his own time...
...gift, which he describes as coming "from the belly," consists of a throatily masculine baritone voice, an expressively mobile face and body and an air of casual virility that can curl the toes of every properly nourished female in the house. He works with few props-a top hat and a straw hat, a cane and an umbrella-but his simplest movements are vibrant with innuendo. Singing entirely in French, he baited his audiences last week into a wonderful medley of moods. In Ma Môme, Ma P'tite Môme he was every woman...
