...idea for the hospital grew out of a trip Dubinsky made to Israel last June. In Beersheba he was shocked to learn that the city (pop. 22,000) has no hospital, and that whenever a Beersheban needs hospital care he must travel nearly 50 miles to Rehovot, which is more than a quarter of the way to Dan at the other end of the country. Dubinsky came home determined to do something...
Friends Won. At Moscow Central Airport, bundled to their ears in thick fur coats, Bulganin and Khrushchev hurried from their homecoming plane to an arc-lighted platform, told Russia's radio and TV audience that it had been a "wonderful trip." Said Khrushchev: "In the 370 million people of India, as well as the people of Burma and Afghanistan, we have allies in the struggle for peace throughout the world . . .

...Bandit's Head. The figure on which the friendless Van Gogh fastened with an intensity that had near fatal consequences for them both was Gauguin, who boasted that he was part Spanish Borgia, part savage.

Probably the most relaxed part of the whole trip was the tea break with the Eisenhowers at the White House. It was scheduled for half an hour, but the chief executives and their ladies exchanged gifts (an antique dueling pistol for Ike, an Uruguayan nutria lap robe for Mrs. Eisenhower, framed photographs of the Eisenhowers and a bust of George Washington for the visitors), enjoyed themselves so thoroughly that an hour slipped by. Then Batlle Berres hopped a plane for a Boston dinner date, spent the next two days being feted at breakfasts, luncheons and dinners and talking about boosting...
...kind of corner-cutting that the inspector was guilty of is not likely to happen again. New rules now require that a cylinder that has had stud trouble must be mutilated so that it cannot be used again without a trip to the factory for careful rehabilitation. When the report on Flight 476 is circulated through airline bases, inspectors will think twice before cutting corners. But the CAB's detectives will not relax their vigilance. New airplanes have new weaknesses, which must be found and corrected. New accidents, even though fewer in number, will bring new problems...
