John Kennedy wore a blue pinstripe suit and a cheery look as he walked to the press-conference microphones. Before the questioning began, he had several announcements to make. For one thing, he and his wife thought it was awfully nice of France to let the U.S. have a look at Mona Lisa (see PEOPLE). Unimpressed, reporters doodled on their note pads.

She scratches him behind his ears, lets him run on a nice long leash, dresses to bring out the Pinscher in him, feeds him plenty of pink meat and hot mush, gives him a good warm place to sleep. Pretty soon she has trained the poor yap to fetch, carry, make spaniel eyes, sit up and beg for his supper and think all the while what a lucky dog he is. But one day somebody tells him how his wife...

Caroline's Welsh terrier, Charlie, skitters happily around the place, and in nice weather lives in a house under the magnolia tree that Andy Jackson planted near the back door. Pushinka, a pooch who came as a present from Nikita Khrushchev, has had a hard time of it: he had a nervous breakdown, was shipped off to Walter Reed Hospital for treatment, but is back now. and is apparently hale and hearty...
