Khrushchev's tentative itinerary includes New York and Chicago, stops in Iowa, Texas and California-where Vice President Nixon will greet the Russians in his native state. Khrushchev announced that he would probably accept an invitation from Farmer-Businessman Roswell Garst to visit his corn farm at Coon Rapids, Iowa. Explained Garst, who met Khrushchev on a trip to the U.S.S.R.: "He's primarily interested in raising corn so that Russia can raise more livestock. And we know how to raise corn...
Last week Lebanon's President Fuad Chehab, who does his best to ignore the feuds, headed for his summer home in the mountains, there to greet a group of visiting Lebanese-Americans (TIME, Aug. 3). Among his invited guests: bulky Nairn Moghabghab, 48, one of the heroes of Lebanon's long independence struggle against the French. It was Guerrilla Moghabghab who in 1944 shot a French soldier who was trying to replace the Lebanese flag with the Tricolor atop Beirut's parliament building. Moghabghab became a Deputy and later Minister of Works...

In the tradition of his trade, screaming hordes of bobby-soxers were on hand to greet him at the airport (where they broke a car window and almost put out one of his eyes) and at a concert in the Hollywood Palladium. All of this leaves Bob Marcucci, 29, feeling like a waxworks Pygmalion, but without worries about the future. When Fabian grows old-18 or 19, that is-he will still have the movies...
...home in Goteborg, Sweden's new Heavyweight Champion Ingemar Johansson was whisked from the airport to a local stadium by helicopter, emerged with a boyish grin to walk on a red carpet and display his mighty right hand for 20,000 cheering fans, who paid 40? apiece to greet...
