...diplomats into a dazzling gold-and-white marble room in the Spiridonovka Palace. In both cities, and in London as well, the emissaries of nation after na tion lined up to sign the nuclear test ban treaty.

Ever alert to a little publicity when the price is right, Lloyd's even covered a Manchester cinema against its patrons' strain, wrench or rupture due to "excessive laughter...
