...Free. The two prisoners themselves had reason to doubt that much was being done for them. Even last week, while Ambassador Tommy Thompson bargained for their freedom with Premier Khrushchev, there was no break in their prison routine. Then, suddenly one morning, their guards gave them Russian suits, heavy wool overcoats and felt hats. They were hustled into a car and driven across Moscow to the American embassy, where even the Marine guard did not recognize them (said one Marine later: "They looked like Russians"). They were handed over to U.S. officials; Ambassador Thompson briefed them on the cloak...
Some of the cries against foreign competition are louder than the pinch warrants. Only 52,600 men's suits were imported into the U.S. in 1960, v. some 20 million turned out by U.S. factories.

In her second-floor bedroom they found Jacqueline Kennedy waiting, with a white sweater and a tweed coat over her nightgown, a pair of white wool socks on her feet. She gave them a wan smile. "Will I lose my baby?'' she asked the doctor apprehensively (Jackie Kennedy had lost two babies by miscarriage before the birth of her daughter Caroline three years ago-a record that had curtailed her campaigning). Dr. Walsh assured...
...curb the swelling imports of wool and worsted materials, notably from Italy and Japan, the U.S. laid down new tariffs last week. They will replace a complicated quota and tariff system in force since 1956, which, a tariff commission official candidly confessed, had "fouled up the wool trade from one end to another...
