Most U.S. planners are doubtful that Khrushchev will be any more cooperative on joint economic development than he has been in the past; moreover, the technical obstacles to U.S.-U.S.S.R. foreign aid-e.g., project control, currency convertibility-are large. But the President, buoyed up by the success of his personal diplomacy to date, intends to press hard for his new approach with Khrushchev this week. As he said in his TV talk with Prime Minister Macmillan in London, "There are millions of people today who are living without sufficient food, shelter, clothing and health facilities.

Remarkably, nobody was killed (a few fire fighters were injured), and the only severe damage for Deadwood came with the destruction of the two lumber plants, a lot of dry lawns, a trailer park, a few houses on the town's edge, and Deadwood Dick's famous cabin in the woods.

The Tiki and Captain Troy are also headed for a hurricane, an engine-room fire, a rock fight on Pitcairn Island, a death struggle with a gigantic eel-if the show lasts long enough...
...parades before the footlights of his wit and warmth. There is first of all the character who dominated Moss Hart's poverty-ridden Bronx childhood: a grandfather, whom a casual neighbor might well have regarded as simply an embittered, ill-tempered old cigar maker, pathetically attached to his past friendship with the great labor leader, Sam Gompers. But in Moss Hart's telling, he becomes "an Everest of Victorian tyranny," the black sheep of a wealthy English-Jewish family, who married beneath his station-his wife could neither read nor write.
