...Nikita Sergeevich, I salute you on American soil," said the U.S.S.R.'s Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. last week-and there he was. There on American soil was Nikita Khrushchev, short, bald and portly, wearing a black suit, Homburg and three small medals, bowing down the receiving line, accepting a 21-gun salute, parading past a guard of honor. There on his one hand stood his pleasant, shy wife Nina Petrovna, his daughters Julia, 38, and Rada, 29, his studious-looking son Sergei, 24, and a retinue of 63 officials and bureaucrats. There...
Gromyko, "the world's highest-ranking errand boy," arrived at the opening session wearing, of all things, a Homburg. Hamming for the cameras, the dour old disher-upper of cold-war epithets raised the Homburg and waved, and he cracked a certain smile as he posed with his East Germans at his elbow. (Actually, at least three of the six East Germans, including Foreign Minister Lothar Bolz, are Soviet citizens who spent years in Russian exile, came back to Germany with the Red armies.)

Foster Dulles greeted his welcomers, Vice President Nixon and Acting Secretary of State Christian Herter, aboard Columbine, then emerged smiling, grey Homburg clamped on head, looking tanned but thin.

Trim in a charcoal grey suit, black loafers and grey Homburg, Berlin's muscular Mayor Willy Brandt, 45. bounded down the steps of the plane from Ottawa last weekend before Washington's photographers could get their cameras aimed. Brandt and his pretty, blonde wife were met by State Department Berlin Expert Eleanor Lansing Dulles, whose brother John Foster had just flown off to confer with German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer about Brandt's Russia-menaced city. Said Brandt: "I will tell my friends in the U.S. about free Berlin . . . You can rely on the people of the city...
...about you, his whole face was beaming." Now in his twilight years, Cyrus Eaton is the archetype of the fading dog-eat-dog capitalist. Tall and slim (5 ft. 11 in., 175 Ibs.) with frosty blue eyes and arctic white hair, he dresses like Daddy Warbucks (blue suits, grey Homburg) and resides in manorial splendor on huge farms (champion Shorthorn beef cattle) in Ohio and Nova Scotia. His personal wealth is estimated at something like $100 million, and his hard-knuckled grip on U.S. industry extends over a $2 billion empire of iron and steel, railroads, shipping, coal and paint...
