...Peacemaker Khrushchev abroad in a warm and receptive U.S. (TiME. Sept. 28), the Russian press has given the tour a play unprecedented in Soviet journalism. Readers have been treated to a feast of exhaustive, fulsome and extraordinary detail, including pictures of Mrs. Khrushchev-a woman in whose existence Red papers previously betrayed only a passive interest, or none at all. Last week Pravda (circ. 5,500,000), the official party organ, topped all the sensational journalism by publishing the first cartoon of a Soviet leader ever to appear in the Russian Press...
...diamond-studded coach to snatches of Beethoven's Pathétique. Two gentle poodles (those feuding balletomanes, the Marquis de Cuevas and Choreographer Serge Li far) fought a duel with ostrich feathers to the music of Claire de Lune.

His sales strategy was to outflank corporate channels, sell the small car directly to G.M.'s hard-reigning president, Harlow Curtice. But sharp, inquiring "Red" Curtice was a tough man to sell. To do it, Cole would have to present him with a prototype car and an argument virtually without flaw-at a carefully selected time when the market was just beginning to ripen. Cole well knew that Curtice could ask him hundreds of questions...
...September of 1957, Ed Cole casually asked Red Curtice out to take a look at something new at the G.M. Technical Center. With a knowing wink, Cole lifted the canvas protecting the clay mockup.
