When Iowa Farmer Roswell Garst invited him to meet Nikita Khrushchev at his Coon Rapids farm, Stevenson accepted with pleasure.

One by one, the passengers filed down the ramp-but no Demara. The stewardess said that Ferdinand had indeed been on the New York-Hollywood flight, but he seemed to have disappeared. Just as Producer Bloch turned to walk away, a bulky man dressed like a pilot tapped him on the shoulder: "You looking for a guy named Demara?" "Yes," replied Bloch...
