...External Affairs Chief Lester Pearson, who was appointed two months ago, along with Norway's Halvard Lange and Italy's Gaetano Martino, to make a study of nonmilitary cooperation among members of the NATO alliance, will spend much of his time on that project in coming months. Pearson told a press conference that a long questionnaire had been sent to the 15 NATO capitals inviting suggestions on how the alliance could expand its economic, political and other non-military functions. The Pearson-Lange-Martino committee-"The Three Wise Men,"-will collate the replies and prepare a report...

...Eggs. Via Veneto's regulars have their appointed places. At Rosati's Café, strollers can spot most nights Novelist Alberto Moravia, Foreign Minister Gaetano Martino, Vice Premier Giuseppe Saragat, or, after Midnight, Film Star Anna Magnani and Director Vittorio De Sica. Across the street, the Strega's tables swarm with so many starlets and bit players that harried directors have been known to hustle over and do some fast casting on the spot. Most international is the Caffè; Doney, where newsboys hawk the London Daily Telegraph, France-Soir and Variety, and waiters accept orders...
