Lolling in a cabana at Atlantic City, N.J. one day last week were four people who had graciously consented to be judges (no pay, but free room and board) at the Western Hemisphere's annual summit meeting of beauties-the 37th Miss America contest. The quartet: Book Publisher and TV Paneluminary Bennett (What's My Line?) Cerf, his wife Phyllis, Playwright-Producer-Director Moss Hart and his actress-wife Kitty Carlisle (of TV's To Tell the Truth). The following memorable dialogue took place...
...Black Notebook. At Ike's side, standing at the summit of government, Milton could easily have carved out a sub-empire of his own. But in the following five years he has placed himself in full command of nothing but the job of easing the President through the toughest job in the U.S. Ordinarily mild mannered, he can be firm in dealing with those who would add unnecessarily to the presidential burden.

Dr. Balke wanted to know whether his conditioned volunteers would be as subject to the bends and the chokes (painful, potentially fatal disorders caused by nitrogen bubbling out of solution in the blood) as a man zooming up from sea level...

"A presidential conference," he said, "might be opportune to launch the Operation in due course, after full discussion and preparation." Their final agreement: Brazil and the U.S. will sound out the other 19 republics in the hemisphere, and, if acceptable, set up a working group in Washington by late September to draw up an outline development program; any meeting of Presidents would follow later. With that settled, Dulles and Kubitschek took time out to pose for pictures...
