...Soviet Union has already given Indonesia a total of $118 million in the form of ships, roads, steel plants and marine institutes (U.S. aid to Indonesia: $500 million). Now there is talk of a Russian-built naval base on Amboina Island, north of Bali, and Khrushchev promised a stadium seating 100,000 in Djakarta for the 1962 Asian Games...

In the hot, stuffy quarters under Madison Square Garden, the Pekingese named Chik T'Sun of Caversham was far off the form that had won a record 126 bests-in-show. Coming up in an hour was his last chance at the top prize that had always eluded him: best-in-show in the flossy Westminster Kennel Club competition.
