...show that even the slogan omitted "Freedom," counter information and sentiments were pressed upon the delegates both within and outside of the Festival. Over Vienna small planes towed signs reading Remember Hungary and Remember Tibet, and the Austrians offered free rides to see the reality of the Hungarian border's barbed wire and watch-towers. With the cooperation of the Americans, students published a seven language newspaper to present accounts ignored in the Russian reports. All over Vienna bookstores displayed books impossible to obtain in satellite countries, and "Information Booths" sought to attract the wandering delegates. And there...
When they finally discovered that the Hungarian pins they wore were actually the symbol of refugee freedom fighters, they moved about shaking down anyone who looked like he might have been passing them out. They liked to circle into groups of 100 or so, and sing party songs while the men swayed to the music. One night when the Yale Russian chorus staged a counter amusement, they paused long enough from their shredding of copies of Amerika to express disapproval of those intrigued by the Americans...
...handsome, beaming, digging Khrushchev, tossing a friendly grin at a speculative Eisenhower and other unidentified observers, says: "Gentlemen, we have some public works to get done.

Time and again Khrushchev's motorcade of black, closed-top Cadillacs ran between silent crowds at a 35-m.p.h. clip. His route was patrolled-sidewalks, roofs, windows, gratings, manhole covers-by 3,300 blue-uniformed police and plainclothesmen. Here and there, Ukrainian and Hungarian pickets waved placards-WELCOME MURDERER, and GO TO THE MOON, LEAVE NEW YORK FOR-US but the police had even ordered the pickets not to carry placard poles...
...from a high-flying airplane, think they saw 'a light effect" at the right instant. U.S. astronomers doubt it. Moon Expert Gerard Kuiper of the University of Chicago thinks that no flash of impact would have been visible against the moon's sunlit surface. He questions a Hungarian report of seeing a long-lasting dust cloud on the moon. Since the moon has virtually no atmosphere, dust particles tossed up from the surface will follow trajectories like bullets, and fall back or disperse in a few seconds...
