...Burden. At this meeting the President reiterated his hopes for a trip this year to the Soviet Union. "I have reason to believe," he said, "that the Soviet leadership would welcome my visit to their country-as I would be very glad to do. I am hopeful that before the year is out this exchange of visits may occur." At his press conference next day, the President did not elaborate, but the word from the White House was that talks are going on at the ambassadorial level, both in Washington and Moscow. As of last week, it appeared that...
...Splendid Significance." Next morning Kosygin flew on to Hanoi, and there the climate was warmer. Thousands turned out in welcome, and when Kosygin called on President Ho Chi Minh, the atmosphere was announced as "warm and friendly." Radio Hanoi gushed that the visit would be of "splendid significance," and in his arrival address Russia's Premier left little doubt why.

Potholes Paved. There was only one word for all the preparations for Elizabeth's eight-day visit: imperial.

White Hope. Clay handled the publicity himself. He touted Chuvalo as "the white hope," nicknamed him "The Washerwoman" for his rough, free-swinging style. Patterson was "The Rabbit"; Cassius went so far as to visit his training camp and present him with a bunch of carrots. The campaign worked like a charm: every one of Madison Square Garden's 18,400 seats was sold three days before the fight, and sidewalk scalpers were getting $10 for standing-room tickets. Closed-circuit TV carried the fight to 51 cities across the U.S. and Canada-with Clay doing the between-rounds...
...rolling. In the next six months half a dozen new recordings of Tippett's works will be released-equivalent to his entire previous output on disks. This summer the Leicestershire, Bath and Edinburgh festivals will all feature special programs of Tippett's music. In July he will visit the U.S. to serve as composer-in-residence at the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado. At 60, the late-blooming composer is at the peak of his creative career. And, as Britten says, he has a lot more notes to write...
