...relaxed and be nice to Nikita Khrushchev, who descended with his family for an 18-day goodwill tour of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. There were moments of levity, such as the time when Khrushchev startled Swedish Premier Tage Erlander by grabbing the oars of a boat and rowing him nonstop across a 300-yd. lake. But all in all, Nikita was no great hit anywhere. He miffed the Danes right off by sneering that their prized, highly productive farms are too small. In Sweden, he again rankled his hosts at a dinner by declaring that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have...
...Bill Scranton will be no neophyte pushover. He has youth, style and a nonstop campaign technique. He is a millionaire, an American aristocrat descended from a proud and public-spirited family. His political credentials are solid. He served in the State Department first as a press aide, later as office manager and liaison man with the White House and Cabinet under the Eisen hower Administration.

As originally designed, the plane would be able to travel no farther than New York to Paris nonstop, and carry too few passengers (110 or less) for many airlines to turn a profit. In heated meetings with the French, the British have lately argued that the Concorde would be woefully outmatched by the planned U.S. plane, which will have up to 35% more speed and 100% more seats. Too much prestige is involved for the British and French to scrap the Concorde, despite rumors...
NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS. By adding nonstop wit and a lovable caddishness to the standard picture of a TV wheeler-dealer, Playwright Ronald Alexander has boosted the industry's ratings-at least on the Broadway laugh meter...
