Such loyalty, such dedication, is bound to be properly awarded. It was as if all Hollywood had gathered to pay Mrs. Washington solemn tribute. It must have dazzled her beyond description to watch the long ranks of limousines disgorge the great celebrities. There, with Actor George Hamilton, was Lynda Bird Johnson in an orange brocade thing with a mink hem, and a hair and makeup job courtesy of Hollywood's George Masters. And there was Lana Turner in a $2,000 number described as beaded chiffon, and Shelley Winters in a black sheath with organza Quaker collar...

Though Years of Lightning can now be seen...
...office, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer considered it his solemn duty to constantly remind West Germans of the evil designs of Moscow. Out of office, he is proving more flexible. At the annual Christian Democratic Party convention in Bonn last week, he announced that "I have not given up hope that some day the Soviet Union will recognize that the division of Germany, and thus also the division of Europe, is not to its advantage. The other day something happened in world history that, I believe, should have been stressed much more by the papers-I mean the mediation of the Soviet...
