Under this unseemly quarrel lay a bold plan of maneuver: Grivas, who dreams of himself as a kind of Greek De Gaulle, hopes to use Greek passions over Cyprus as a lever with which to overturn the Athens government of Premier Constantine Karamanlis. Last week, driven to plain talk, Makarios publicly said as much. "From the moment Grivas decided to enter Greek politics," declared the Archbishop, "he did not see the Cyprus question with a clear eye." But plainly worried that Cyprus' hard-won independence settlement might be endangered by Grivas' demagoguery, Makarios also began seriously considering...
...Cannot Find Words." In mid-meal Mrs. Khrushchev passed up a note to her husband informing him that there had been a change in schedule for that afternoon: the Khrushchevs were not going to be driven to Disneyland, as they had requested, because the city police could not guarantee their safety. Disneyland is in another county. The city police had added that nobody agreed with them more than Khrushchev's own security detail...
With Disneyland off limits, Khrushchev was driven behind police escort through shopping centers, housing developments, and the U.C.L.A. campus. Ambassador Lodge told Khrushchev that he could stop anywhere; Khrushchev, once again detached and dubious-looking, chose not to stop anywhere, hardly looked out of the windows of his closed car.

Perhaps the only mistake which the makers of Golden Demon made was in the title, which suggests violence and Oriental supernaturalism like that in Ugestu and Gate of Hell. Lest anyone be driven away by visions of gibbering 16th century warriors and otherworldly music, it should be explained that the "golden demon" is money and the film is about love and pride in Japan of the 1890's. It contains the striking color photography of Michio Takahashi, with its scrupulous attention to mood and detail, a high level of emotional excitement sustained throughout an uncomplicated plot, and fine acting...
...broad, well-woofed welcome mat. In New York Harbor's Gravesend Bay, the new Holland-America liner Rotterdam met the Dutch destroyer Gelderland, transferred a special passenger: plumply pretty Princess Beatrix, 21, heiress presumptive to the throne of The Netherlands. Under cloudbursts of ticker tape, she was driven up lower Broadway, incidentally passing over the site where marooned Dutch sailors spent the winter of 1613 as the first white inhabitants of Manhattan. In the U.S. for ten days, the princess would lunch with President Eisenhower in Washington, but would spend much of her time in the Hudson River Valley...
