Next day the Kennedys took off for Hyannisport. Boarding a helicopter on the White House lawn, Jack had to wait 20 minutes for Jackie. As he sat reading a newspaper in the chopper, Caroline joined him. Then she spied her Russian dog, Pushinka, a gift last summer from Nikita Khrushchev, and bounded across the lawn in pursuit. President Kennedy got out of the helicopter, retrieved his daughter, sent an aide into the White House to see what was delaying his wife, and finally the family departed.

John Kennedy has often fussed about an inequity in international journalism.

Peking argues that under Khrushchev's anti-Stalin line, the Soviet Union has grown fat and bourgeois and lacks revolutionary zeal in dealing with the West. Red China has even announced that it will develop its own nuclear weapons and many in the West take the threat seriously...
Every once in a while, Nikita Khrushchev leaves official Moscow for a tour of the hinterlands, where he dispenses earthy proverbs and lofty advice to spur lagging Soviet agricultural production. Last week, on his latest swing through the boondocks of Central Asia, Khrushchev again demonstrated that to the folks down on the farm he is still one of the muzhiks...
