Behind Barbed Wire. An Army helicopter stood ready on the grounds of the nearby Bethesda Naval Hospital to take the President, Prime Minister and British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd (who dislikes air travel in general and, from his appearance, helicopter travel in particular) to Camp David, the Maryland retreat of Presidents, where Franklin Roosevelt (who called it Shangri-La) met in secrecy with Winston Churchill during World War II. (Harry Truman had no use for the place.) Some lesser lights of the British party, who followed by helicopter and car, grumbled about being tucked away in such sylvan solitude...
Behind the Wall. Chris Herter, who had gone ahead from Washington, met the President, Macmillan and Lloyd in Aspen Cottage's paneled living room. There, in the large room with its sofas, easy chairs, bridge tables, and huge fireplace bearing the presidential seal, most of the Eisenhower-Macmillan talks took place. They began after a 45-minute Eisenhower nap and lunch (tomato soup, cheese souffle, cottage pudding with lemon sauce). The first day, Herter, Lloyd, U.S. Ambassador to London John Hay Whitney and British Ambassador Sir Harold Caccia also participated in some of the discussions. Ike called for Deputy...
Though it has come on hard times, the Villa Savoye is a landmark-if not a classic beauty-of architecture, ranked by many architectural historians as the modern house second in importance only to Frank Lloyd Wright's low-roofed, deep-shadowed 1909 Robie House in Chicago...

Cadillacs crowd the highways; minks and white fox stoles topped by teetering hairdos fill ornate halls such as the Eden Roc's Pompeii Room, which looks (in Comic Joe E. Lewis' phrase) as if it had been "designed by Frank Lloyd Wrong." On the stages the big ones are there: Maurice Chevalier ($15,000 a week), Jack Benny ($20,000), Jimmy Durante ($15,000), Sammy Davis Jr. ($25,000), Judy Garland ($25,000). Miami's total talent budget for the 15-week season: well past...
Where is the motherland of civilization? Prehistorians generally locate it in Mesopotamia, but Seton Lloyd, director of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, thinks that the Anatolian Plateau farther north in Turkey may have been civilized first. One of his field parties has excavated a Bronze Age site near Burdur that looked at first like a small village of a dozen small houses. Deeper down, the diggers found mud and stone fortifications 10 to 15 ft. thick, and a wooden upper story that was apparently destroyed by fire about 4,500 B.C. Under the ruins were human skeletons...
