...desperately needed food. Of the $2.2 billion in "aid" that China has received from the U.S.S.R. since 1950, almost none of it was a genuine gift; the $300 million surplus that China expects to run this year in its trade with the U.S.S.R. will go to pay off past Soviet loans...
...increased crop of British correspondents is trying to depart from the cliche reporting of the past, which conjured up a fantasy land of red Indians, vast, untamed distances, beady-eyed Wall Streeters, scofflaw Chicago gunmen, political beasts and, more recently, nutburgers, healthatoriums and two-story doghouses.

The auction was so crowded that 5,000 people were turned away, and half of the 2.000 ticket holders were forced to watch the bidding on closed-circuit television. The lot had been collected in a hurry over the past few years by Hotelman Arnold Kirkeby (Hampshire House, Beverly Wilshire. Saranac Inn, El Panama). He was selling them off faster yet. Top record-breaker of the evening: $152,000 for an early and not especially rewarding Picasso that cost just $45,000 three years ago, was bought by Kirkeby only...
