...oracular way, De Gaulle himself gave two other reasons for his desire to postpone a summit. The first is a fundamental disagreement with Britain and the U.S. over what a summit should be. Macmillan, in particular, talks of a series of summits, none of which would be make-or-break. De Gaulle, who believes that familiarity breeds contempt and that a certain modicum of mystery is essential to governing, sees the summit as a single 'grand encounter" that must be "carefully prepared"; as he expressed it in a communiqué last week, there should be an effective reduction...
...poets and composers hold a competition for the most romantic wedding march, and that each couple get a handsomely bound volume containing homilies by the country's leading Soviet intellectuals. He also wanted peace doves released at each ceremony. But of all the proposals Izvestia received, none hit the mark so squarely as one from Odessa. After complaining about the "colorless and dreary routine" of the registry offices, V. Runanov suggested that every city have "a special building-the best in town" just for marriages and other happy events. Last week, as if to make V. Runanov...
...defeat Awolowo. The Sardauna was happy to cooperate, for he bitterly hates Awolowo, who for years has urged that the powers of the northern emirs be reduced and is trying to split off the large non-Moslem "Middle Belt" from the Northern Region and make it a separate state.

None of the VIPs had suffered any ill effects; neither did human volunteers who ate the foods for short periods. But experimental animals put on a long-term diet of irradiated foods had shown some alarming symptoms. Rats developed abnormal eyes, or bled, or died before their time. Bitches bore smaller-than-normal litters. Mice developed enlarged left auricles in their hearts, which interfered with their breathing and sometimes burst...
...because it falsely purported to be a soiree at the Waldorf: "Does Mr. Stanton want me to believe that Rochester works for Jack Benny, that it was really George De Witt's own hair on Name That Tune?" Comedians moaned that without canned laughter they may well get none at all; politicians feared that they may have to tell when their speeches are ghosted. If absolute honesty prevails, observed New York Herald Tribune Critic Marie Torre, TV men may have to confess that Manners the butler is not a midget, that Lassie is not a bitch dog after...
