...Clips & Peeps. Turning to the press. Paar fingered New York Times TV Columnist Jack Gould as the man who had led the "literary lynching." Noting that Gould had criticized him for interlacing his Berlin shows with commercials, Paar summoned the TV cameras to have a close peep at a freshly assembled collection of pages from the Times, showing ads full of brassieres and what Paar called "crotch shots" of girdles and panties running side by side with reports on the world's most crucial news. Moving onward and downward, Paar tore into the "yellow journalists," attacked the New York...
...industry recognized the Market's potential from the start. U.S. corporations have been pouring capital into Europe at a record clip ($844 million in 1960 alone). And though the Common Market was expected to import fewer goods from the U.S., American exports to the six-nation area last year actually soared 42% (to $3.4 billion) over the 1959 level. In time, Common Market manufacturers, including U.S. subsidiaries, will undoubtedly supply a far higher proportion of the consumer goods, from plastic ice buckets to portable TV sets, that now come largely from the U.S. But the loss will be more...
Eternal Sounds. A plywood screen behind the orchestra only partially deflected Mediterranean breezes, and musicians were forced to clip their scores to their stands with wooden clothespins. Casals seemed unbothered; his back to the sea, he swung into Bach's Sonata in G. Performers who had been worried about the open theater's acoustics soon learned to forget their fears.

In the slow second movement, sustained, vibrant notes, clear and fragile as crystal, rippled to the topmost rows...

Prices are rising at the alarming clip of 10% yearly, and a pound of meat in Teheran was a staggering $1.15. Wages have not kept pace; the striking teachers on the average earned scarcely $25 a month. Then there is, as always, widespread graft and corruption which Amini frankly called "the curse of Iran...
Precisely at 10:15, the President and his lady descended the stairs to the entrance hall. Jackie had on a sleeveless, floor-length sheath of pink and white straw lace, wore just one piece of jewelry: a feather-shaped diamond clip in her bouffant hair. At a signal, the Marine Band's dance orchestra in the East Room struck up Mr. Wonderful; Vice President Lyndon Johnson and his wife Ladybird joined the Kennedys in leading the first dance. Afterward, Jack stood at one end of the ballroom greeting guests while Jackie toured the floor with a battalion of successive...
