Fifteen countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will be represented by 60 to 80 delegates, among them Frank Pace, Lester B. Pearson, Paul-Henri Spaak, and John Fcster Dulles. Spaak and Dulles will be the featured speakers of the week, addressing a banquet at the Sheraton Hotel a week from Saturday...
...Peepers. Goldfine's pressagents got the week off to the wildest of Marx Brothers starts. In charge was one Jack Lotto, modestly describing himself as "a former ace reporter for the I.N.S.," who set up shop in a three-room Sheraton-Carlton press headquarters.

Newsmen were invited to the hotel, where liquor and caviar were waiting (Goldfine picked up the tab, but he and his lawyers declined to say if it would be written off on his tax returns). Goldfine was nearly an hour late, so Publicist McCrary presided, still explaining that he was not going to make a red cent out of his efforts (next day, McCrary withdrew from the Goldfine team). Finally, Goldfine entered the steaming room, along with...
