...United Nations reception, Partygiver Elsa Maxwell, 75, seemed the very soul of wit as a brace of old and dear friends-Pakistan's filly-following Delegate Aly Khan and Opera Outcast Maria Callas-squashed her in with socially correct shoulder blocks. Later, contemplating a frothy dinner she hosted (in another friend's apartment) for magisterial Austrian Conductor Herbert von Karajan, Elsa sighed publicly about her people-nabbing prowess: "Why, I wonder, am I blessed with such friends?" neglected to add an answer...
...Shoulder to shoulder under a purple umbrella, two girls left their porticoed high school one drizzly afternoon in Washington. D.C. They seemed identical -lumpy teen-agers with bandannas and sagging sox-except that one was a Negro, the other white. Last week, as other Southern cities rumbled angrily (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), such quiet scenes in the nation's capital spoke volumes about school integration-which Washington once viewed with frightened alarm...
...Spiegel give its cover and ten inside pages to such an irascible foe? The answer is as plain as the chip on Der Spiegel's shoulder. Like last week's guest, Der Spiegel rejoices in the immoderate attack, has soared to success partly on the objective of calculated, fight-picking, journalistic cussedness.

On Nov. 4 he stood virtually unchallenged for the Republican presidential nomination in 1960. On Nov. 5 he could look over his shoulder and see a red-hot potential contender in the person of New York's Governor-elect Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, who ran up a sensational 557,000-vote win in Democratic territory even as California Republicans-including a Nixon protege for attorney general-were getting shredded all across the board...
...Rome the bongo drums throbbed unnecessarily. Tuxedos dropped to the floor in homage. Blue-blooded Borgheses and warm-blooded entertainers stamped their feet, but hardly to get circulation going. Cinemelon Anita Ekberg had just slumped with exhaustion after dropping a shoulder strap in a loamy cha-cha-cha, and now a Turkish bellydancer was grinding away at Anita's challenge: "Let's see you do better." She did. With fundamental gesture-and no clothing save a pair of black lace panties-Haisch Nanah, 24, turned U.S. Socialite Peter Howard's birthday party for an Italian countess into...
