ARRIVING for an inspection trip in Bucharest last week, Nikita Khrushchev seemed weary, listless, and troubled by the heat. Briefly, Khrushchev recovered his remarkable vigor, then sagged again as an aide read one speech and Khrushchev canceled another address entirely. Clearly, at 68, the top man in the Kremlin is beginning to lose his bounce. He is overweight (5 ft. 5 in., almost 200 lbs.) has high blood pressure and a heart condition. According to one rumor, he is receiving injections of water and procaine (better known by the trade name Novocain), a dubious treatment devised by a Rumanian woman...

Pres Bush, 67, said that he simply did not have "the strength and vigor needed to do full justice to the campaign ahead, or to the responsibilities involved in serving another six years in the Senate." He looked tired, wore a hearing aid for the first time in public. That the campaign would be strenuous was obvious-since former Democratic Governor Abe Ribicoff, a great Connecticut vote-getter, is leaving the Kennedy Cabinet to run for the Senate. Bush did beat Ribicoff for the Senate in the Eisenhower landslide of 1952, but private polls by both parties now showed...
