...wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, then checked in at the White House for a long, serious talk with the President. This time, he came bearing gifts: two Pakistani rugs for the President, a painting for Mrs. Kennedy, a doll for Caroline and two silver rattles for John Jr. In return, Kennedy had Ayub measured for a tailor-made, gold-inlaid shotgun (a 12-gauge Winchester 21), which will be sent directly to Pakistan as soon as it is completed. At noon Ayub addressed Congress (see above), moved taciturn House Speaker Sam Rayburn to remark: "We have been...
...London Airport to help publicize Moscow's Trade Fair, and all Britain gave him a tumultuous welcome. Thousands lined the 14-mile route into London for a look at the world's first cosmonaut, cheered and chanted "Gagarin" as his motorcade swept by.

...there is the loutish Kenneth Stout; for the sycophantic Dr. Augustus Fagan there is the sycophantic Brother Aloysius. Even the scenes in The Saga are hauntingly familiar: a garden party that is entertained by the Bidcombe Platinum Band recalls the garden party of Decline and Fall, with its Llanabba Silver Band.
