...agreement from France's President Charles de Gaulle to a pre-summit meeting of Western chiefs of state (Eisenhower, De Gaulle, Britain's Macmillan, West Germany's Adenauer) on Dec. 19 in Paris (see FOREIGN NEWS). Beyond that lay a summit conference with Khrushchev next spring. Between the Western meeting and the long-heralded summit, Ike planned to make his promised visit to Moscow...
Even after ex-Professor Symington started making money, at law and in business ventures, the flow was erratic. To supplement the family income during lean spells, young Stu got a paper route. One summer he sold bottled spring water from a wagon pulled by his dog. At eleven he attended his first presidential nominating convention-the historic, tumultuous Baltimore Democratic Convention that nominated Woodrow Wilson in 1912-as a vendor of peanuts, popcorn, tobacco and chewing...

The Great Lakes ore fleet, most of which is idled by the strike, has little more than a month left before the lakes freeze over, may not be able to supply enough iron ore to keep the mills operating until spring. Even if the steel firms decide to use more-costly rail transportation, not enough cars are available to move all the ore they need-and cold weather freezes ore in the cars, makes it more difficult to load and unload...
