Whatever the long-range results of the handshaking, the oratorical sparring, the wide-ranging travels, it seemed likely that the first, short-range result would be a trip by Nikita Khrushchev to the U.S. "On balance," said Nixon in a press conference just before leaving Moscow for Warsaw, "I believe that some time Mr. Khrushchev should be invited to come to the U.S." Khrushchev, he said, "still has some very real misconceptions regarding both our policy and the attitude of our people. A trip would serve to reduce and to remove these misconceptions...
Fearful that the Kremlin might take offense if Warsaw crowds treated Nixon too much more warmly than they recently treated Khrushchev (TIME, July 27 et seq.), Poland's Communist government had carefully kept quiet the time and place of the Vice President's arrival, and the Warsaw press said nothing about the route his party would follow into Warsaw.

...Dublin Gate Theatre, with Michael MacLiammoir as Malvolio, "sick of self-love," posturing his priggish way with timeless vulgarity. London is also out with a spate of Shakespeare-Coriolamis, Othello, Julius Caesar, Richard II-in a series of journeyman readings by the Marlowe Society players, who eventually will press all the plays. One of the most majestically read of the talking books is MGM's Joseph Conrad, in which Sir Ralph Richardson whittles Youth and Heart of Darkness to half-hour slices while preserving their familiarly sea-wallowing cadences: "And on the luster of the great calm waters...
