Mikoyan, appearing on NBC-TV last night, rejected as "impossible" any thought of merging Eastern and Western Berlin into a single free city. But he vigorously renewed Russia's demand that West Berlin alone be converted into a free city, contending this is needed to keep the area from becoming "a possible hotbed of war." The Soviety Deputy Premier is scheduled to leave tomorrow for Moscow to report to Premier Nikita Khrushchev and to get ready for a big Communist party meeting later this month...

...boss of NBC-TV's Wagon Train, Major Seth Adams (Ward Bond), sometime Union cavalry officer, can be forgiven his aplomb. He has been tangling with oddballs ever since he started his first trek out of St. Joseph, Mo. a year ago last September, headed for Sacramento, Calif. Every week, while the train fights thirst, Indians and renegade whites, Bond has had to take time out to handle the wild and woolly characters with which his scriptwriters people the West. In A Man Called Horse, beefy Ralph ("Picnic") Meeker turned up as an ignorant settler who had been handed...

...hobble-de-hoyden Tuesday night romps on NBC-TV's Jack Paar Show, doughty Prattler Elsa Maxwell. 74. has merrily trampled and spiked the foibles, veneers and peculiarities of such vulnerable folk as Elvis Presley, Billionaire J. Paul Getty. Jayne Mansfield, "Fatso" Farouk, Linda Christian and many another moving target. But not until one evening a fortnight ago did the gaily irresponsible Elsa turn her gusty gall on one of the few name-and-I-droppers in the world who, pound for pound, can outgossip and outfeud her-Walter Winchell. The battle between the titans of Babel began when...
