After nearly three weeks in Great Britain, roly-poly Georgy Malenkov, the visitor from Russia, was getting to be almost like one of the family. Journeying northward from London, he stopped in at Lancashire's teeming seaside Blackpool, smiled amiably avuncular smiles right and left among the crowds of vacationing Britons, and gave a honeymooning bride a box of chocolates. Offering a stick of rock candy to three-year-old Richard Davies, 54-year-old Georgy said: "I have a grandson of this age. His name is Peter. This is for peace between Peter and Richard...
Hoffa's proposed alliance with the debt-ridden I.L.A. outraged A.F.L.-C.I.O. brass, who recognized it for what it was: a deadly threat to the three-year-old drive to clean up the New York waterfront. In 1953 the A.F.L. expelled the I.L.A. for flagrant and persistent corruption, and it was the teamsters' union that sparked the International Brotherhood of Longshoremen, a new, "clean" pier union.

Heffalumps & Wallaboos. The verses and stories that were to be When We Were Very Young, Now We Are Six, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, were based on the doings of his three-year-old son, Christopher Robin Milne,* who insisted on calling himself Billy Moon. As Christopher Robin, Billy eventually became a fixture in thousands of nurseries in England and the U.S. If he went to the zoo or to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, his father put it all into rhyme. Even his evening prayers ("Oh! God Bless Daddy -I quite...
Last week, after sitting and listening to the Randalls' trouble for four days, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Gold granted a separation, ordered Sol Randall to pay $35 a week for the support of Yolaine and their three-year-old daughter, Robin Sue. A few minutes after the decision, Justice Gold got a telegram from the woman whose hard work had set Sol on his ill-starred road to Central Park West. It read: "My son, my son, God bless America. Mrs. Sophie Lenefsky (Mother...
