Within 20 hours, city hall operators logged 1,677 calls, all but 19 demanding that Mayor John Lindsay call off a scheduled dinner for the King. Candidates in this week's primary elections quickly denounced the hawk-beaked desert monarch. Nearly every major Jewish organization pronounced itself outraged.

...that he brought to his counterat tacks of World War II and his political campaigns since 1958. For months, he has been polishing Russian phrases and memorizing speeches - he will make 19 during his twelve-day visit. His scouts have reconnoitered the high ground of Muscovy: Paris's Mayor Albert Chavanac last week toured Red Square, while French scholars swarmed through the Soviet capital discussing everything from color TV to oceanography...
