...chimes in the Spassky tower atop a Kremlin gate struck 10 as Nikita Khrushchev, his party leaders and foreign guests filed up the steps to the top of the tomb. Last of all came 80-year-old Kliment Voroshilov, who had publicly apologized for his "antiparty" misdeeds and apparently assumed all was forgiven. An armed guard barred his way. Voroshilov made a second attempt to join his old comrades through a side door of the Mausoleum and was ejected by a plainclothesman. He then stood pathetically beside a white-smocked woman selling ice cream and watched somberly as Defense Minister...
...Pennsylvania Railroad, biggest in the nation, and the third-ranking New York Central* last week said that they had decided to ask the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to merge.

...Soho Café. Yet he was never a stranger to London. The Soho restaurant called the Eiffel Tower knew his booming voice and august figure as well as it knew his colorful companions: Max Beerbohm, Tallulah Bankhead, Wyndham Lewis, the young Prince of Wales. In Ireland he spent his time with W. B. Yeats; in Paris he sought out James Joyce; in London he came to know Shaw, Wilde and Aldous Huxley. To women he was irresistible. It was said the female sitters would sometimes strip off their clothes without John's either asking or wanting them to. When...
