...pondful of gleaming new boats, an avant-garde children's playground, the Macy-furnished ranch house, rows of shining 1959 cars, and the 360° Circarama film, a leftover from the Brussels World Fair, which has been updated by Walt Disney and fitted out with a Russian sound track. On opening day, uniformed girls handed out free Pepsi-Colas from gaily painted kiosks. More than 60,000 red begonia, white chrysanthemum and blue ageratum plants splashed color through the exhibits-not out of any special patriotic fervor, but because they are the most abundant flowers in Moscow at this...

Corny Shields spoke of the jib ("Don't trim it flat-you need a nice little cup in it''). He gave a captain's cold advice on picking a crew...
...basic industry last week shuttered up the mills that produce the bulk of its steel, the broad-based U.S. economy was so sound in its nonsteel elements that it suffered few serious effects. In Washington high Administration economists predicted that the walkout would not imperil the economic boom-unless it lasts a painfully long time. But the shutdown immediately began to produce a stock of troubles...
