...sudden downpour washed out the ceremony that was to take place on the lawn of the President's quarters at Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station on Oahu. The presidential party ran for cover to the officers' club, and there in a 2½-minute ceremony, Dwight D. Eisenhower received his 46th* and quickest honorary degree, an LL.D. from President Laurence H. Snyder of the University of Hawaii. Read the citation: "His travels to the far corners of the earth as an emissary of peace have endeared the hearts, won the minds and rallied the loyalties of freedom-loving...
...week's end, as they nursed their power mowers down the lawn, Suburbia's men paused here and there to enjoy a spell of nothing more salacious than wife-watching. Tanned, brief-clad women sprawled in their chaises and chatted about babies, Khrushchev, Japan and the P.T.A.

The split: for Lucy, their two children, half of their $20 million Desilu TV interests, the leaky mansion, two station wagons, a cemetery plot at Forest Lawn. For Desi: the other half of the $20 million, a golf cart, a membership in a Palm Springs country club, a truck, several horses...
...crack Los Angeles mechanic named Art Ingels, 41, who set out to build a cheap, pocket-sized racer in the spare time from his job of working on the "big cars" that race at Indianapolis. Ingels' prototype, made from spare parts, was powered by a lawn-mower engine. The new models are often precision-built from equipment specifically designed for go karts, including tires, tiny high-speed (up to 16,000 r.p.m.) engines, steering gears and bodies turned out by some 65 firms that know a good thing when they see it. The finished kart can cost as little...
