Even the solo performances took on the glamour of major production. New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman and Eleanor Roosevelt, both Khrushchev's guests in Russia who doubtless had said politely, "Come and see me if you're ever in America," found themselves with protocol-sized problems-Harriman with a reception in his Manhattan apartment, Mrs. R. with a tour of the F.D.R. home at Hyde Park. Khrush's favorite U.S. farmer, Roswell Garst of Coon Rapids, Iowa, placated photographers by trying on a coat given him by Khrushchev in Moscow last March, finally decided...
...personality opposite on the tour: Ambassador to the U.S. Mikhail ("Smiling Mike") Menshikov, 56, whose beaming arrival in Washington 18 months ago first signaled the Kremlin thaw. He has addressed more U.S. luncheon clubs and business groups than any other Red Russian in history. His wide travels have doubtless provided reporting on the U.S. mood...

Under the present set-up--the inference seems quite apparent, if not explicit...
...meeting last May 19, voted to "authorize course credit for special supervised study by Freshmen...in order to permit, under the direction of this Committee, experiments designed to intensify the intellectual experience of the freshman year." Apparently little effort was made to define further the nature of these "experiments." Doubtless one reason for this was that most professors had not yet had time to think the matter out in any very careful or systematic fashion. However, some of the people most involved will say privately that this was not the whole reason. According to them, the new Faculty-members...
