...recent months British newsmen have swarmed over SAC headquarters at Omaha, flown H-bomb patrol over Alaska, eyewitnessed moon shots at Cape Canaveral, studied the lot of the Manhattan chairwoman, tuned in on Beat-Generation talk in San Francisco. London Sunday Times Reporter Kenneth Pearson flew over to file a three-part series on the Broadway musical, West Side Story-inspiring the London Daily Express to fly the West Side troupe to London for a night...
