...Khrushchev finally launched into a speech, a husky Negro, resplendent in billowing orange tribal robes, burst through police lines, capered up to the platform and reached out at him. Kicked and pummeled back into the crowd by the horrified Ulbricht's cops, after he had managed to shake hands with Khrushchev, the man turned out to be no assassin, but a Nigerian student on a round-the-world motor-scooter trip who had only wanted to hand Khrushchev a thank-you letter for his new Soviet visa...
...cries of crass commercialism fail to shake Bride and Groom. The show pulls 500 letters a day from young women eager to fit out the new home with such goodies as live chinchillas and gold mines in Montana. Bride and Groom has supervised the weddings of some 2,500 couples to whom about 1,000 children have been born.

His notion that the corporation makes or unmakes the man is on a par with all the determinist devil theories of history which hold that every evil of human life flows from the capitalistic "system," or from the machine, or from sunspots...
...brief foray into Quebec, Tory Chieftain Diefenbaker could play no such homey role. Reading speeches in schoolboy French, Diefenbaker was unable to shake Quebec's traditional suspicion of the Conservatives, whose strength is based in the English culture of neighboring Ontario. But across the provinces, Diefenbaker has pumped new spirit into a party that last won a Canadian federal election in 1930. Elected Tory leader only 5½ months ago, Diefenbaker has kept himself on a handshaking, speechmaking grind from morning until well after midnight through six weeks of the campaign...
