...with big plans donned top hat and swallow-tailed coat and, surrounded by an escort of sword-bearing Indian guards, called at the Presidential Palace in New Delhi. U.S. Ambassador to India John Kenneth Galbraith, a shade under 7 ft. tall in his topper (6 ft. 8 in. without it), could hardly have picked a more propitious moment to meet with Indian officials: the U.S. was about to offer $1 billion for basic development projects over the next two years if the other members of the "Aid to India Club," Britain, Canada, West Germany and Japan, matched the contribution...

Jackie professes to enjoy his place in the shade, and claims that "as soon as I get a day off, I'm going to a department store. I haven't dared go near one in years." But the anonymity is not likely to last.

Every award presenting group has its problems, and even the chequered shade of the halls of the Dana Reed Prize Committee is occasionally darkened by worry. In Myron Kaufmann's words, "Our biggest headache now is deciding what publications at Harvard we can accept entries from. There have been a lot of new ones recently, and we'd like to have them included--but we really can never be sure if they're going to be reasonably permanent publications." The committee's own reasonable permanency is, of course, another problem that the Album must eventually face. There is some talk...
