Another Story. At the Vienna conference, Khrushchev was tough on Berlin, urging in a written memo that the West immediately sign a German peace treaty. Last week the Soviet Union charged that the forthcoming meetings of the West German Parliament in Berlin were "provocations endangering peace." Khrushchev seemed a bit more cooperative about Laos. In the joint communique issued after the talks, Kennedy and Khrushchev agreed on the need for an "effective ceasefire." But last week it was apparent that Khrushchev would implement those words in his own good time. When the pro-Communist Pathet Lao violated the cease-fire...
...with the USIA in Paris, and his wife. In Greece, Jackie was the official guest of Prime Minister Constantine Karamanlis, but being a poor man with only a small apartment in Athens. the Premier delegated his friend Marcos Nomikos, a wealthy shipping magnate and a member of the Greek parliament, as substitute host. Nomikos put the North Wind and his villa in a seaside suburb of Athens (with a splendid, theatrical view of the distant Acropolis) at Jackie's disposal. While Jackie and her friends sunned and swam at the villa, units of the Greek navy patrolled...
...sets are almost as common as cars. An economics professor who still takes time off from his duties as Premier to teach at Rome University, Fanfani is making a vigorous attack on the sectors that have not fared so well in Italy's resurgence.

Stung by Drama Critic Walter Kerr's panning of the play based on his novel, A Call on Kuprin (Kerr called it "a great deal of scenery in three acts'"), Welsh-born Novelist and Member of Parliament Maurice Edelman dashed off a disastrously timed letter to the New York Herald Tribune. "It is a pity," huffed Laborite Edelman, "that Mr. Kerr should have been so busy sawing up the scenery that he should have neglected the play-which, after all, is the thing." Unhappily, it wasn't. In the very issue that carried Edelman's letter...
...stations operated by eleven oil companies. To head its new subsidiary, Phillips made a shrewd choice: onetime Prime Minister (for one month in 1941) Sir Arthur Fadden, 66. A plain-talking, party-loving Queenslander who led Australia's Country Party for 17 years. "Artful Artie" Fadden retired from Parliament in 1958 to run his own accountants' firm. He plans to offer half the initial $2,000,000 share capital in Phillips' Australian company to Australian investors...
