...growls that emanated from Hanoi and Peking last week had all the gruff timbre of true paper tigers. Both Ho Chi Minh and Mao Tse-tung sneeringly declined to receive British Envoy Patrick Gordon Walker, who had planned a visit to discuss negotiations over Viet Nam. The U.N.'s Secretary-General U Thant got a more raucous rebuff: "U Thant is knocking at the wrong door," bellowed Peking to the suggestion of U.N. involvement. Ho dismissed Lyndon Johnson's offer of "unconditional discussions" over Viet Nam as "stinking of poison gas," and demanded complete withdrawal of U.S. forces...
Before his brief visit with Johnson, Dean Rusk and other Administration officials, Wilson stopped off in New York for some plain talk to what he once called the "gnomes"-the world financiers.

Promptly headlined was the charge, from which all sorts of innuendoes were supposed to be drawn, that when Strauss was on a visit to Los Angeles in June 1960, Lockheed Aircraft arranged an "intimate" dinner for him and Actress Jayne Mansfield. From Lockheed came the smart rejoinder that the company had indeed entertained Strauss at an "intimate" dinner -for 14 U.S. and German officials. Jayne Mansfield, quite believably, said she had "never heard of Strauss," adding that in June...
King will inspect schools and housing in Roxbury, address a joint session of the state legislature, and speak at a passive rally on the Boston Common. He will confer with Gov. John A. Volpe at the State House this morning and visit Mayor Collins tomorrow...
