...months since Adlai Stevenson tiredly conceded that he had lost an election but gained a grandchild, he has been busy influencing friends and winning column inches. Showing slight interest in settling down to the nonpolitical routine of his Chicago-New York-Washington law practice, Stevenson toured Africa and Europe on a three-month, 16-nation jaunt, wrote articles, delivered speeches, held press conferences, appeared on television shows, enjoyed publication of his biography and his collected 1956 campaign speeches. At intervals, he thumped away at the man who beat him twice-and at some politicians in his own party. Stevenson openly...
...names of Lazar Kaganovich's comrades-in-disgrace-Georgy Malenkov and Vyacheslav Molotov-from factories, village squares and streets. Towns like Voroshilovgrad and Mikoyanabad, whose namesakes are still untoppled, continued to bear their old names-but there will be no additions to the roster. Last week, in the interest of efficiency, economy, and the vagaries of internal Russian power politics, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet announced that in future no towns, villages, streets or institutions in the U.S.S.R. will get the names of prominent Russians until after they are safely dead...
...spring of 1956, Producer-Scriptwriter-Lyricist-Narrator-Hero Thomas hastens to inform the audience, he was appointed a special U.S. Ambassador to Nepal, for the coronation of the King of Nepal, by the President of the U.S. And in the interest of art-not to mention the financial interests of the Cinerama people, whose first three productions have already grossed $60 million-he decided to take the Cinerama audience along to see "the glowing fantasy of Asia." Those who accept his invitation will not actually see "the mythical Shangri-La" that Commentator Thomas leads them to expect, but they will...
...bring in outside capital, lined up several potential investors. To London last week went Publisher Reid and Pressagent McCrary, for brass-tack talks with multimillionaire Republican John Hay ("Jock") Whitney, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's and lifelong friend of McCrary, who had already expressed interest in helping the paper (with a rumored transfusion of $2,000,000). To keep a sober eye on editorial policy under Editor-Publisher Reid, the paper was recruiting an advisory board composed of business and G.O.P. leaders...
Ever since June, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Du Pont's 23% stock interest in General Motors Corp. was illegal (TIME, June 17). the Justice Department has been seeking the best way to divorce the two giants. Last week the trustbusters gave the first real hint as to how they will proceed. The one thing Justice will not accept, said Assistant Attorney General Victor Hansen, is one thing Du Pont would probably agree to: a permanent, nonvoting trust for Du Pont's 64 million G.M. shares. This, Du Pont hoped, would remove control without forcing...
