...with 56 candles. Pat gave him a pair of cuff links -"All his cuff links were torn off in the campaign," she explained.

The Nixon White House menagerie will also include Blanco, a dog left by the Johnsons because it does not like Texas, a Yorkshire terrier called Pasha, and Vicky, a French poodle...

In publishing, Milan's Fabbri Brothers created a major business by capitalizing on Italy's rising educational levels and its fascination with installment-plan buying. They brought out high-quality serializations of The Divine Comedy, the Bible and other works, now sell more than 1,000,000 copies a week on Italian newsstands. Italian designers are famed for what they do with silks and leather, and their fashions are in high demand. French, Dutch...
