In charge was the President's special foreign aid salesman, Eric Johnston. On hand were labor leaders and dowagers, bishops and Hollywood entertainers, the Democrats' Lyndon Johnson, Adlai Stevenson and Dean Acheson, the Republicans' Dick
...Aladdin, a sort of Horatio Alger story smothered in Oriental opulence, had everything except taste. There were fire-eaters, elephants and Chinese superbazaars, and special effects that must have taken all of Sponsor Du Font's chemical resources.

The News has been heavily subsidized (at least $500,000) by the I.T.U., is being sued by the crusading Tri-City Herald (14,275), which charges that the I.T.U.-backed News...
...Augustine, 61, who spent 30 years as a Jesuit in active mission work around the world before joining the Camaldolites eleven years ago. is so devoted to the solitary life that he has special permission to remain in his cell without emerging, even for Mass, more than three times a year. Dom Augustine trudged the Manhattan streets a while in his ankle-length white robe and said: "This is my first look at the outside world in ten years.
