...While Salinger puffed on cigars, the pair were served vodka and caviar, discussed press relationships and other communication channels between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Inevitably, the meetings gave rise to rumors that Salinger was negotiating about a Kennedy visit to Russia, but Salinger denied it "on a stack of Bibles." One thing that Salinger and Kharlamov did talk about: a possible exchange of TV appearances between Kennedy and Khrushchev-either separately on each other's national screens or on a single TV show in both nations through the use of tape...

Triple Wardrobe. As for his eating, most horses would be embarrassed. Gleason orders pizzas by the stack, has put down five stuffed lobsters at a sitting. He says he has pica, which Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary describes as "craving for unnatural food, as chalk, ashes. etc."; but what Gleason really has is merely an unnatural craving. Often-and with great will power-he diets, cutting down his intake to 1,200 calories a day. He once took...
