Ominous Interview. Next day came news of a fourth Russian test, but that event seemed to pale alongside the implications of an extraordinary interview with Khrushchev by New York Timesman C. L. Sulzberger. The setting was peaceful-lemon soft drinks were on the table, Khrushchev politely pulled a ruffled yellow curtain to shade Sulzberger's eyes from the sun, cracked jokes that touched off "merry animation" among the Russians. But Sulzberger came away with the overwhelming impression that an overconfident Khrushchev still doubts that the U.S. and the West will fight to maintain freedom in Berlin or elsewhere...
...Wagner earned his win. Having turned against the bosses in order to ensure the support of the surging reform Democrats, Wagner managed to make bossism the campaign's big issue.

Here the pale man usually sits, sometimes writing quickly, other times throwing logs into the fire for hours and making long lists of words until he finds the right one. The writer is Jerome David Salinger, and almost all his fictional characters seem more real, more plausible, than...
...Thin. pale, with long black hair and burning eyes screened by spectacles, Ben Khedda performed his first revolutionary act at the age of 14 by scrawling "Long live Algerian independence!'' on the wall of his Algerian school. His extreme nationalism carried him to leadership among the Moslem students at the University of Algiers, and he was twice jailed by the French, winning his release the second time through the intervention of French liberals who had worked with him in the Algiers Boy Scout movement...
