Later, after a change to a beige tropical suit at his air-conditioned apartment in the U.S. ambassador's residence, Ike left with his brother Milton, Dulles, Adviser Sherman Adams, Dr. Howard Snyder and Press Secretary Jim Hagerty for the Presidencia (the presidential palace). Again, the crowds swarmed along the streets to see him and cheer in the 90° heat. When he arrived at the Presidencia, he paused for the inevitable photos, then went inside, took a heavy, carved-mahogany chair at a long table in the banquet hall.

...Nehru would have none of it. Even before he reached Brioni Nehru began to bill the conference as a casual meeting, arranged only after he learned that by rare coincidence "Nasser also would be traveling in Yugoslavia."

The cutting has not hurt the film much, but of course it was stupid and unnecessary. In either of its versions, One Summer of Happiness is restrained, beautiful, and totally lacking in offensiveness. It displays infinitely better artistic taste than, to take an obvious example, the "Miss Universe" short that...
MORE ANTITRUST SUITS loom against automakers. After slapping General Motors bus division with monopoly suit, Justice Department is pushing investigation of G.M.'s 55% share of U.S. auto market. Another possible suit: against Ford, charging that it violates antitrust laws by forcing dealers to sell quotas of parts and accessories...
