...salute boomed out, British Governor General Sir Glyn Jones waved from the doorway of the Malawi Airways Viscount. A moment later he disappeared inside, and the plane soared northward toward Britain. All alone in the middle of a red carpet stood Prime Minister H.

It was a last fond farewell between the two men who had worked together to prepare Malawi for independence in 1964 and for last week's ceremonies, which established Malawi as a republic and Banda as its first President...
...classic case of a company that needed to find a better mousetrap -for the second time. Chicago's American Hair & Felt Co. introduced felt carpet underpadding in the '20s and cornered the market, but in the early 1960s it was nearly trampled by the consumer stampede to sponge rubber.

The Waldorf rolled out the usual red carpet for the visiting monarch, the 35th-floor presidential suite was made fit for a King, and Feisal appeared content to dine (on cold shoulder?) in his quarters. "I think," said a Saudi official, "the King is above being angered by something trivial like this...
Early Monday morning, as the first sightseeers wandered around, surrounded by the still spotless carpet, the shiny floors, and the expanses of glass, an electrician worked on the lights inside, and a crew of men arrived to put flowers in the large white tubs on the central courtyard...
