...G.O.P.'s future is not all moonlight and magnolias. Early Republican surges have frightened Democrats into shirtsleeve activity. After Nixon's Greensboro triumph, for instance, Kennedy put on a Washington lunch for 60 North Carolina editors. He plans to visit the state twice this fall; Johnson will speak four times. Most dangerous obstacle at the moment for Republicans will be Southern school reopenings with concurrent integration and possible trouble, notably in New Orleans. Federal action, no matter the justice of it, could seriously damage what chances Nixon may have in a South that still remembers Little Rock...
...fraternities and sororities, jazzed up band and football uniforms, hired Count Basic and Woody Herman for spring proms. When he introduced the trimester system this summer, he spiced the package with a noncredit term touring Europe after the junior year. To make Parsons a summer festival, he staged a moonlight Mississippi cruise. Soon due: a summer semester-end blowout, complete with genuine Indians holding up a stagecoach, and contests to choose a Miss Frontier and catch a greased pig. The freshman dropout rate has fallen...
...boldly do the Singapore kidnapers strike that the millionaires have given up favorite haunts: no more nights at the Tanjong Rhu club over cool drinks and mah-jongg, no more rides home on a quiet road where moonlight filters through acacia and tulip trees. To protect themselves, some millionaires, like the movie-mogul Shaw brothers, reportedly pay regular tribute to the underworld. Others have bought barbed wire and snarling watchdogs. A few take the precaution of calling ahead to their destination whenever they go out, and if they fail to arrive on time, an alarm is sounded...
...project failed to win the support of the necessary 66⅓% of voters in a referendum. He also urged U.S. and British church leaders to make Canterbury Cathedral a Protestant "Vatican" at a cost of $25 million, including hidden lighting that would give the effect of sunrise, sunset and moonlight. The flamboyant Red dean, Dr. Hewlett Johnson, said he "had dreamed of a project like this for 40 years," but the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, called the idea "unacceptable and abhorrent." Another dream, pending since 1958, is the construction of two 100,000-ton economy style transatlantic liners...
...crown is an iridescent fountain of bubbling jewels. Diamonds spill and shimmer like droplets of moonlight. At its pinnacle, a huge, rough-cut ruby stares like an evil red eye. The diamond crown of Peter the Great is one of 80-odd superb photographic still lifes of the Kremlin's quasi-barbaric, Byzantine splendors, caught with eloquent precision by David Douglas Duncan's camera. This glittering hoard-jeweled scepters and prayer books, imperial gowns and priestly vestments, carriages and thrones-was buried art treasure until Duncan wangled Khrushchev's permission in 1956 to roam the Kremlin...
