...campaign swing through upstate New York, Vice President Richard Nixon last week dropped into a press conference the kind of privileged news scoop that drives the Democrats wild. At the time of Khrushchev's visit to the U.S. last fall, said Nixon, the FBI picked up two Soviet agents operating in Springfield, Mass.*-more proof, said he, that the U.S. has no reason to be ashamed of the U-2 flights over Russia.

One reporter who did not join the sweaty, sociable circle was Pundit Joe Alsop Jr., who arrived with a copy of Thucydides under one arm, sped off to an air-conditioned room in the residence of U.S. Ambassador Horace H.
