Pope & President. Then the protocol-shattering frankness of President Ayub's 50-minute talk to a joint session of Congress gave the program an unexpected boost. After spelling out Pakistan's groping toward democracy and its dependence on U.S. financial aid, Ayub threatened: "We are pressing against you today as friends. If we make good, I think you will in some fashion get [your money] back. If we do not make good and if, heaven forbid, we go under Communism, then we shall still press against you-but not as friends." The "affluent" U.S., said Ayub, really...
...submitted to an hour of questioning at the National Press Club, and played host himself at a dinner for President Kennedy and for his old friend, Dwight Eisenhower. On another evening, he traded war stories with Secretary of State Dean Rusk-an old Burma hand-and was chided by protocol officers for forgetting to toast the health of the U.S. President.

At a press conference in the Trade Fair's fashion hall, so many Yuri fans crashed in that Fleet Street newshawks, among the world's most agile and aggressive, barely got in any professional questions. Instead...
...Belgium's austere and pious Queen Fabiola, 32. The white gown and veil she wore instead of the accustomed black was easily explained: she had asked Pope John XXIII for the ancient privilege of Roman Catholic queens. The reason for her other departures from the past -forgoing the protocol-prescribed trek up the Noble Staircase in favor of an elevator ride to the second-floor apartment of the Pope, failing to join her husband King Baudouin, 30, for the traditional call on the Vatican Secretary of State-also became clear the very next day: the Pope personally confirmed rumors...
