...scene of Brown's effort was the Western Governors' Conference at Idaho's handsome Sun Valley Lodge. Briefed by political scouts back from neighboring statehouses, Brown hustled into Sun Valley, went to work on the other arriving Democratic Governors: Washington's Albert Rosellini, Nevada's Grant Sawyer, New Mexico's John Burroughs and Colorado's Stephen L. R. McNichols. They should, Brown urged, all "zero in" on a regional favorite for President; it was well understood that he had in mind zeroing in on none other than California's Pat Brown...

Spector himself had flown home to St. Louis from Singapore, and his family, with Lynn, followed aboard Utrecht...
...seemed to feel better. Campaigning in Britain, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan jauntily announced that "everybody is agreed" to a summit meeting and that everything seems to be clear except fixing "the date and the place and the people." And on a brief stopover in Moscow on the way from Washington to Peking, Khrushchev himself spoke of Dwight Eisenhower in language of a kind Soviet leaders have never before applied to a Western statesman. Said Khrushchev: "I must say that the President of the U.S. showed statesmanlike wisdom, courage and will power in assessing the present international situation...
