...this spring awarded him a Lenin Peace Prize worth 25,000 rubles (officially $27,775). Not to be outdone, Kent disclosed that he has donated $10,000 of it to "the suffering women and children of Viet Nam's Liberation Front" as "a token of my shame and sorrow." Next it was the U.S. Treasury's turn, and they announced a violation of the Trading with the Enemy Act. Which didn't mean Kent could pocket the $10,000, because an American can't take rubles out of Russia anyway...
...better part of nine days, Thomas Joseph Dodd had asked ever more plaintively for an end to the proceedings. "Don't drag me through any more," he implored.

...OVER THE WORLD (MGM). Anyone who listens to rock 'n' roll on the radio can't help hearing about hearing that hush-"the sounds of lovers in love." The sunny troubadors are Herman's Hermits who also sing such post-nursery rhymes as Little Miss Sorrow, Child of Tomorrow, If You're Thinkin' What I'm Thinkin' and No Milk Today...
