...December sun glanced through the big picture windows in the living room of Harry Holt's 13-room farm home perched on a hill near Creswell, Ore. There sat Holt, 52, a thickset man with a ragged mustache and shaggy eyebrows, and his wife Bertha, 53, her unrouged face a picture of contentment. Around the couple cuddled eight button-eyed children, aged 3 to 5. Their thin voices mingled with the Holts' as they sang...
...center of political power of the Western world was lodged this week in a bleak, jerry-built room across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The blue felt table around which sat 14 chiefs of Western governments† was diplomatically round.

The winner of each match gets $2,000 (the loser, $1,000) and the right to keep playing as long...
Suspicion: NBC's new series of hour-long melodramas, half on film and half live, usually seems deader than either, but it sat up and began to move last week with The Deadly Game, adapted by James Yaffe from a story by Friedrich Duerren-matt. A sales executive (Gary Merrill) stumbled out of a New England blizzard to find shelter in an old-fashioned mansion where four retired men in dinner jackets almost seemed to be waiting for him. They plied him with food and brandy, and he amiably agreed after dinner to join them in the parlor game...
