...chain spread across massive middle, Sir Winston Churchill, 84, came haltingly down the ramp from Columbine III one evening last week at the Military Air Transport Service terminal in Washington. At the bottom of the steps President Eisenhower watched solicitously as he waited for his visitor. Then, with Churchill triumphant, Eisenhower stepped forward and thrust out his hand. "Hello, my friend," he said. "Glad to see you back again." Churchill, noticeably composing himself, replied: "I am indeed glad...

...Triumphant Boom. When time came for L.B.J. to speak, his refurbished oratorical style surprised even his friends. Gone was the perfunctory, toneless reading; he spoke slowly, ran the scale from a confidential whisper to a triumphant boom (for future reference, an aide in the audience noted where he talked too fast and where too slowly).

With the possible exception of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Russia's Bolshoi Ballet is the most extravagantly praised and least frequently viewed wonder of the world. The company's triumphant London visit three years ago (TIME, Oct. 15, 1956) marked its first appearance on a Western stage. Last week, amid box office uproar (see SHOW BUSINESS), Impresario Sol Hurok finally welcomed the Bolshoi to Manhattan for the start of a nine-week cross-continent tour. The long-awaited look was not a disappointment. But, as with many such wonders, the anticipation was somewhat more exciting than the actuality...
