...came news of a fourth Russian test, but that event seemed to pale alongside the implications of an extraordinary interview with Khrushchev by New York Timesman C. L. Sulzberger. The setting was peaceful-lemon soft drinks were on the table, Khrushchev politely pulled a ruffled yellow curtain to shade Sulzberger's eyes from the sun, cracked jokes that touched off "merry animation" among the Russians.

...stomach for it a slice of hospital life. True, the story has been sliced twice before. Author Arthur Hailey first told it in a TV play (No Deadly Medicine), later in a novel (The Final Diagnosis). In the hands of Scriptwriter Joseph Hayes, the slice begins to seem a shade too thin...

Cracked one bare-chested trooper: "To qualify as a royal marine, all you have to do is be able to drink 19 Cokes daily." British and Kuwaiti officers shuttled companionably between neon-bright Kuwait City and the front in Sheik-supplied Cadillacs and Chryslers. Declared Brigadier General Derek Horsford, Britain...
