...capital? U.S. firms that cannot wait for all the returns to come in are answering the question with cautious optimism. In December, New York's First National City Bank, the nation's third largest, established its second branch south of the Sahara, in Johannesburg. The huge Chase Manhattan Bank has followed suit. Vice Chairman David Rockefeller, 43, just back from a five-week African tour, expects to open up other branches in South Africa. "After that, we will be thinking about moving into the Rhodesias," he said, last week...
Washington has rarely seen so truly cheerful a pair of official guests as El Salvador's President José Maria Lemus, 47, and his pretty, 32-year-old wife. At National Airport, when President Eisenhower greeted them, at a formal White House dinner, after a Manhattan ticker-tape parade, their smiles came naturally and easily and their moods were clearly carefree. A 45-minute conference with Ike stretched Lemus' smile even wider.

...world, and may your labors be fruitful." That was in Madrid in 1912, when the guitarist was young. Since then he has wandered the globe, playing with unparalleled passion and beauty.

...courage to invest regularly in blue chips all during the Depression and since could hardly have escaped making a fortune. Last week, to thousands of curious investors, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith proved this in a booth in Manhattan's Grand Central Station. There a whirring IBM Cardatype accounting machine figured what would have happened had an investor put an average $500 a year into a stock every year since 1929-about $15,500 in all. Had he bought Alcoa, his shares would be worth $115,850, and he would have pocketed $17,158 in cash dividends-a paper...
...exhibition in the Soviet Union, scheduled to run for six weeks beginning July 4. Designed to give the Russians a look at how the U.S. lives, the exhibition is the result of a cultural exchange agreement under which the Soviet Union plans to set up its own exhibit in Manhattan's Coliseum for eight weeks beginning June 16. The Russians will pack their show with manufactured products, model classrooms, scientific instruments (including Sputnik models), giant topographical maps, displays of collective farms, literature and Soviet sports. Some 50 English-speaking young Russians will act as guides...
