Nikita Khrushchev, ruler of 200 million people, addressed himself to the Disneyland issue, his voice beginning to shake, but only slightly. "We have come to this town where lives the cream of American art," said he. "And just imagine, I, a Premier, a Soviet representative, when I came here to this city, I was given a plan, a program of what I was to be shown and whom I was to meet here...
...before 1 p.m. Khrushchev's motorcade rolled up to the 20th Century-Fox studio commissary ("Cafe de Paris") in Beverly Hills.
