...depreciation and gas-and-oil expenses for his little red sports car, a Mercedes-Benz SL 300, on his tax returns as business expenses. That gave scholarly Chicago Crimebuster Richard Ogilvie, 37, the clue he needed. Ogilvie, sole survivor of a Justice Department investigative group ostentatiously set up in 1958 to combat Chicago crime, checked with 3,500 local tavern owners, discovered that not one of them had ever seen Tony come around, at least to sell any beer...
Leadership Is Indivisible. Then Khrushchev set his glass down and led Liu and 46 other Communist chieftains up the stairs to the Kremlin's green-tiled Winter Garden Room to open his "Red summit'' meeting. He had tried in vain to arrange a compromise at the Bucharest meeting last June.

The U.S. had just elected a President who in 1957 stirred up a flurry in France by declaring that "the independence of Algeria" was "the essential first step" in North Africa. The Algerian rebels are pressing Morocco hard to grant passage...
...Moslems, Arab leaders often seem more interested in bemoaning lost glories and nursing old grudges than in attacking the problems of the day. Last week Pakistan's Moslem President Mohammed Ayub Khan arrived in Cairo and throwing away a diplomatically phrased set speech, delivered the sharpest criticisms of Moslems by a Moslem heard in many a year...
