...This Favorite Horse." Khrushchev wound up his prepared text on California weather, disarmament, how Los Angeles smog resembled the cold war, then looked at Mayor Poulson.

King of Ruth, Miss, and Joseph Proietti of Mt. Kisco, N.Y. Emrealp did not mention that his men had already extracted from the Turkish manager of the NATO noncoms' club in Izmir a confession implicating King-a confession subsequently repudiated by the club manager, who, as a result of his "questioning," was still in the hospital. Assured that King and Proietti would...
