...Candid camera shots at Brussels showed last week (see cut) that British Foreign Secretary Eden elevates his teacup so close to his face that it almost covers his nose, extends his fifth finger to the full; while Soviet Foreign Commissar Litvinoff keeps his cup nearly level, protrudes his lips toward it, bending his head and sucking in the tea. Long-reach cookie snatching, by delegates leaning across in front of other delegates who already had their cookies and kept standing close to the table, was also in order at Brussels...
