...ceremony was far more than a hands-across-the-sea tribute to an elaborate display of cultural and industrial wares. It was a milestone in the new day of person-to-person diplomacy, and both sides were aware of the high stakes. President Eisenhower had shifted his schedule to fly up to meet Kozlov. because 1) he was genuinely interested in seeing what manner of $10 million show the Russians had opened at the U.S. front door, and 2) he was more interested in seeing that Vice President Nixon gets the same kind of reciprocal top-level treatment when...
...Kremlin man. His hands are small and active, and so are his well-shod feet. He has a big, oval face, pale as a Siberian snowfall, and his nose is straight and narrow-bridged. When he smiles, a thin upper lip edges high to reveal a set of glistening teeth and a flash of gold, and little lines creep round his fleshy face and forehead like crinkled aluminum foil.

...break came in 1952, before the Republican National Convention in Chicago.

I shall have to force myself to cope with it." But, badly split following the resounding feud between Adenauer and Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard, the Christian Democrats were in dire need of an uncontroversial candidate for the high, if largely ceremonial, office of President...
Doorstep, at the Tufts Arena through this Saturday, concerns itself, if not the audience, with the problems the Crochet family in Louisiana encounter in trying to raise money for a new home. In order even to make the show bearable an extremely high level of acting is called for, especially in the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Crochet and their daughter Erie. This level the Tufts group does not provide. They fail, both in their line readings and in their movements, to convey any real feeling. Marilyn Rawlins as Mrs. Crochet fails less than the others. But the largest share...
