...normally grumpy face wreathed in smiles after the conference's formal endorsement of prohibitory nuclear tests, a line that the Russians have so long beat their propaganda drums for, Soviet Delegate Semyon Tsarapkin told reporters, "I am optimistic. We have adopted Article i." And how soon would the conference adopt Article 2? "We shall...
...over the continent, to size them up, to swap ideas, to get a psychological boost from the feeling that others were with them. For all the fiery phrases about "solidarity and fraternity" and for all the placards reading, "Forward to Independence Now!" this was no gathering of obedient line followers. They accepted as conference chairman Kenya's flashy young (28) Nationalist Tom Mboya-a good choice, everyone agreed, though many delegates bristled at the way Nkrumah railroaded his selection.

Pollock's painting, said the Times, is "almost an act of spiritual brinkmanship . . . Like Pope's spider, he feels along the line." The Sunday Times's John Russell, who had scoffed at Pollock in the past, now praised "the great pounding rhythms which batter their way across the 18-ft. canvases, never for a moment out of control."

Even Publisher Crornie did not get off Scott-free. The Sun ran a three-part analysis of Vancouver's faltering Community Chest, which...
Hustling to get away for the weekend, the honey-blonde pressagent in Atlanta hastily dashed off a few corrections on the press release for her biggest client-the new, $3,000,000 Cabana Motor Hotel scheduled to open last week. For a new punch line at the end of the story, Lois LaRoche scribbled: "What a spot for an adventurous weekend!" Then she sent the copy off to a mimeographing and mailing service. Not until she was back from her trip did she see the finished copy that had gone out to some 400 newspapers and magazines, and then...
