...Murphy, who will delay his retirement (and starting his new jobs as a director of Corning Glass Works and president of Corning Glass Works International) to make the trip. New look on the diplomatic team: Daughter-in-Law Barbara Eisenhower, who will accompany Ike's aide and son, Major John, and act as hostess on behalf of Mamie Eisenhower.

In they come with their little domestic problems, and out they go; back they come with their headaches or their beatnik poets, and out they go again...
...fact that, as Packager (Screen Gems) Harry Ackerman puts it, "the networks are run by businessmen, not showmen." Robert Edmonds Kintner, 50, has no quarrel with that situation. A Swarthmore graduate, he started out as a New York Herald Tribune Wall Street reporter in 1933. Son of a Stroudsburg (Pa.) schoolteacher, Cub Kintner, a lean, spectacled Hall-of-Ivy type at the time, at first "didn't even know where Wall Street was." But he learned quickly. Though an ardent New Dealer and F.D.R. favorite, able Newsman Kintner developed and retained a high regard for big "business. For five...
