...last week Sir Winston Churchill, as he often does on his Riviera holidays, lunched with Aristotle Onassis aboard Onassis' yacht Christina in Monte Carlo harbor. Sir Winston ate and drank as heartily as ever. When he reported feeling ill that afternoon, the physician who usually treats him at Monte Carlo, Dr. David M. Roberts, thought it might be indigestion. Next morning it was clear that whatever ailed Churchill was more than indigestion. The old warrior abandoned his plans to meet Lady Churchill, arriving from London at the Nice airport, and took to his bed. An eddy of concern welled...

A swift investigation by newsmen showed that Statesman Churchill is energetic enough to paint, read, play gin rummy and eat zestfully, in a packed vacation schedule. Sample lunch: hors d'oeuvres, duck with...
...night like this, it's hard to keep your mind on your business," said Steve Allen, sticking to the script as he peered into the Havana sky last week. The sky was overcast and black, and a chilly wind sent wavelets across the swimming pool at the Havana Riviera Hotel, where NBC was beaming its first major live production over the horizon from Cuba...
