...flounced off the set of Can-Can in Hollywood one day last week, Actress Shirley MacLaine began running over her lines. "How the hell are you, Khrush? I'm goddammed glad you're here. Welcome to our country; and welcome to 20th Century-Fox, and I hope you enjoy seeing how Hollywood makes a musical. We're going to shoot the can-can number without pants." Like most of Hollywood, which was like most of the U.S., Shirley MacLaine had the Khrushchev visit on her mind (she is an official movie hostess) and, since it was inevitable...
...argument on British colonial policy continued, but in Manhattan the 81 students were busy answering reporters' questions about other matters. In clipped British accents, Masai Tribesman Geoffrey M. Ole Maloy reported that his hunting trophies include four cobras, two antelopes and a rhinoceros.
