Tito (who is making a triumphal return call to Moscow this week) has recently been acting as self-appointed broker for Russia's Nikita Khrushchev in the Communist campaign to woo Western socialists. The campaign has not been going at all well, particularly since B. & K.'s disastrous' dinner with British Laborites (TIME, May 7). Last week Tito's patience broke down when he received a letter from Phillips bringing up the subject of the shabby treatment given to Djilas...
Apparently the University has forgotten. Dean von Stade, at any rate, seems certainly to have forgotten one evening in 1935 when, as the CRIMSON reported, "with Rudy Vallee and his 38-piece ensemble striking the key note in a triumphal rendering of the 'Stein Song', the annual Freshman Smoker took place..."

Skiddy von Stade...
...friendly-looking man behind the thick-lensed glasses peered around him at the triumphal archway, the red, white, and green Italian flags, the guards of honor, the crowds, the bands, the bannered words of welcome: BENVENUTO AL PRESIDENTE GRONCHI.

One of his best is Oncoming Spring (opposite), a triumphal rendering of a theme that had been germinating in his mind since 1915. In a rapturous letter Burchfield described the final harvest: "Hardly had I set up my easel when a thunderstorm came up. I decided nothing was going to stop my painting, and hurriedly got my huge beach umbrella and my raincoat. I protected my legs with a portfolio, the wind holding it in place. And so I painted...
...wake of Khrushchev and Bulganin, another spectacular but distinctly different visitor made his triumphal way across India last week. He was moose-tall (6 ft. 6 in.) King Saud of Arabia, 53, ruler over Islam's holiest places and the world's richest oil lands. His party of 234, including nine royal princes and a dozen sheiks, was seven times as large as that which accompanied Bulganin and Khrushchev. When some of India's 40 million Moslems tried to garland the King's head with flowers, strapping bodyguards, slung with pistols, gold-hilted scimitars and jeweled...
