Small Dividends. For all his buoyancy, Khrushchev's only concrete achievement of the week resulted from an afternoon visit with Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Afterward, Khrushchev told newsmen that he had Macmillan's assurance "that a summit conference would take place" early next year when the U.S. had a new President. Pending such a meeting, if held on schedule, he piously promised that Russia would make no effort to change the status of Berlin...
Since Eisenhower's brief visit, there has been no American at the U.N. to match the glamour or personal flamboyance of a Khrushchev, Macmillan, Nehru or Nkrumah.

Leaping to his feet, the 68-year-old Tito cried jovially: "I fell so fast and got up so fast, you photographers had no time to take a picture...
...than the sales of all other kinds of books put together. Last week's mergers were but the latest in a series this year: Prentice-Hall, the biggest college text publisher, acquired Iroquois Publishing, which puts out elementary and high school books. Crowell-Collier won control of the Macmillan Co. to create a $60 million publishing complex. Henry Holt, Rinehart and John C. Winston joined forces to create the leading science and language text publishing house, raising sales to $31 million. The aim of all is to get ready for the market looming in the '60s, during which...
