...Hicoupet Mark III sports car. U.S. price: $49.95. Obviously, Detroit will soon be just a swallowed Miltown. The hero pulls his thumb out of his mouth, strips to his Bermuda shorts, and shouts: "This is a job for Business Man!" He is, of course, "faster than a speeding ticker tape, more powerful than a goon squad, able to leap loopholes in a single bound." He does all this on the stage of a Chicago coffeehouse-nightclub called the Second City...
...joined President Kubitschek in an open White House Lincoln (flown from Washington for the occasion). Together the two Presidents rode through a wild, carnival-mood welcome by 750,000 happy cariocas. "Benvindo, Eekee! [Welcome, Ike!]" was heard everywhere.

Convinced that the U.S. meant its best (TIME, Nov. 9), Touré showed no sign of offense at the fact that the red, yellow and green flags along the street were those of Africa's Ghana, not Touré's Guinea. (Embarrassed city officials explained that a flagmaker delivered the wrong flags...
...With these words, candidates were welcomed into the CRIMSON Newsroom for the opening meeting of the Crime's first competition of the year. Escape was the keynote, Crimeds told of escape from angry deans, the dull academic routine, and even from Harvard itself. Beer cans hissed and the AP ticker tapped out "pockatapockatapockata" while candidates chortled in festive glee...
