...heeded the arguments of Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge, who supports IDA, but also wants the U.S. to handle some foreign aid through the U.N. Last year Lodge won the President's approval for a U.S.-sponsored "U.N. Special Fund," which provides modest sums for pre-investment surveys in underdeveloped countries, also for technical training. Since then, the U.S. has contributed $5,000,000 to the U.N. Special Fund. Lodge now believes that this U.N. Special Fund is the logical mechanism for U.S.-U.S.S.R. cooperation in foreign aid, if Khrushchev is interested in Eisenhower...
...Europe Ike's pre-Khrushchev consultations had triggered eventful and long-postponed decisions. France's Charles de Gaulle, after a year devoted to cautious, almost imperceptible maneuver against both Moslem rebels and self-professed French patriots, drew himself up at last to announce his plan for staunching the hemorrhage of civil war in Algeria. In Britain Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, capitalizing on the sunburst of Ike's public personality, quickly called elections that could give the Tories five more years in power...
...forecast on the fact that each postwar cycle has had two or three years of expansion, followed by one or two years of contraction. The current boom got under way 17 months ago, and the key indicators are cycling ahead of schedule.

Last week the Commerce Department announced that spending for new plant and equipment will...

Future treatment of the emotionally ill. suggested Mowrer, "will, like Alcoholics Anonymous, take guilt, confession and expiation seriously and will involve programs of action rather than mere groping for 'insight...
...presents outsize Tenor Mario ("My voice is the greatest in the world") Lanza as an "unpredictable, erratic, self-centered" American singer who is chased by an overdressed, "publicity-loving" international party girl (Zsa Zsa Gabor). The casting is pluperfect, but most of the picture is a pretentious bore. The pre recorded songs seem unable to locate Lanza's lips, and some of the arias might even have been scraped off old Lanza sound tracks. The only new number, a "Jamaican rock 'n' roll" item called Pineapple Pickers, summons little of the old Mario magic...
