...Oaks & Eucalyptus. There are a number of festivals as ambitious as Newport's, and most of them feature the same names, though in lesser concentration. Playboy magazine, having been refused permission to use Chicago's Soldier Field, has contracted for Chicago Stadium (seating 20,000).

...Toronto for a four-day blow at Exhibition Park. Both shindigs, together with the Boston Jazz Festival, are the handiwork of Newport Impresario George Wein, who advertises his various wares under the slogan, "Have Festival, Will Travel."

Tattered bayonet targets, reminders of pre-pushbutton war, stand in a quiet tract, while 3,900 civilians and 3,500 airmen work busily around a futuristic maze: three 135-ft. Atlas gantries on nearly completed pads, three more Atlas pads still being poured, eight Thor pads, 8,000-ft. bases for electronic tracking, a hangar-shaped missile-assembly building...
...drummers beside the altar played solemn rolls and flourishes at the elevation of the Host. In the morning, he went to services in the New England-style Lutheran chapel the Swedes had built at Gaza. On the Sinai border, the Yugoslavs, encamped in an oasis of palms and eucalyptus trees, had carefully arranged golden dates to form the United Nations emblem...
