...into the White House. "I feel like I have already been here a year," he told 30 newsmen over coffee in his office. Then he gave the newsmen word of a couple of important trips that are in the works. This week, he said, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara will visit South Viet Nam for the second time in three months, to review the war against the Viet Cong guerrillas. Next week Johnson will go to Manhattan to address the United Na tions and "establish acquaintance" with the delegates there...
...been the wish of my life to visit the Holy Land," wrote Giovanni Battista Montini, then Cardinal-Archbishop of Milan, to a bishop friend in November 1962. Last week, in his final address to the Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI surprised the prelates by announcing that he will indeed visit the holy places of Jordan and Israel on a three-day trip next month. It will be the first papal voyage outside Italy since Napoleon forced the unhappy Pius VII to take up residence at Fontainebleau in 1812, and the first time since the days of St. Peter that...

The episode ends ludicrously: as Brownshirts riot around Innitzer's palace, Soprano Wilma Lipp and 200 members of the Wiener Jeunesse Choir huddle primly...
Last Saturday it was Harvard who invaded the state of Maine, to try their luck against the Colby sextet. The result was a crushing 1-2 victory. Tonight at 8 p.m. a different Maine representative, Bowdoin, will visit Watson rink, but the outcome should be about the same...
