...considerable damper on overt Communist activity. And at week's end U.N. Secretary Dag Hammarskjold decided to fly to Laos himself to determine whether the situation warrants some kind of permanent, though informal U.N. surveillance-a measure the Laotians feel would go a long way toward keeping the Red aggressors on their own side of the jungle...
Surrounded by Defense Minister Rodion Malinovsky and other smiling brass, Nikita Khrushchev proposed a toast to the Red army as "the only army that voted for its own liquidation."

From Charlie Revson's hard-as-steel mind spring the soft and alluring shades-Red Caviar, Pink Lightning, Plum Beautiful-that have touched the lips of more U.S. women than those of any other maker. Last week, at 53, trim (5 ft., 8½ in., 144 lbs.), handsome Charlie Revson ran into some embarrassing new facial shades: Quiz Pink and Umbrage Blue. As sponsor of the rigged $64,000 Question and $64,000 Challenge-which in four years helped triple Revlon...
