...that three-hour session, which ranged over a vast area of issues and propaganda (see THE WORLD), Khrushchev was told that we proposed to report fully on the meeting and assumed that he had no objection. That was quite an assumption, considering the usual Soviet practice, but he replied: "That is your right. You are certainly free to use it." A TIME working contingent spent the next seven hours preparing a verbatim transcript, for we had decided that this unique interview should be shared directly with the press of the world. We released the complete text to the entire Western...
...began when Lord & Taylor President Melvin E. Dawley made a three-hour visit to Ireland last year and was, as he put it, "bewitched." Dawley decided on the spot that he wanted "more than anything in the world to bring Ireland-the beautiful, inspired, elegant, romantic Ireland-to America." Lord & Taylor sent out two advance scouts with cameras and expense accounts to see what the Emerald Isle had to offer. Wave after wave followed -two vice presidents, two merchandise managers, 26 buyers, display men, art directors, photographers, fashion editors. Eleven months, 48 transatlantic crossings, and more than...
Princes and tribal chieftains have taken Feisal's side. Thus, there was no great applause when Saud last month sent word that he wished to come home. At a three-hour conference, Feisal and most of his 38 other brothers drew up a document allowing the monarch to return, on condition that he stay out of affairs of state and issue no more decrees. A three-man Feisal delegation flew to Vienna, handed Saud the document; sadly, the King signed...

Tourists fleeing from the frozen north created colossal traffic jams at the Brenner Pass and three-hour tie-ups along other roads. Italians who flocked to Sardinia's much-ballyhooed Costa Esmeralda, where the Aga Khan is building a resort, found themselves quartered in half-finished hotels with neither lights nor hot water. And the annual crush of German tourists never quite materialized. Offended by a rash of Italian-made anti-German films, some German newspapers advised their readers to take their business elsewhere...
...holidays. Italians now take off an average 36 days per year, and the Germans 33. Though the British work shorter hours, their 18 days of vacation and holidays per year is the shortest vacation period in Europe. The U.S. does not always provide a model for others to imitate. The Italians, for example, steadfastly oppose an American eight-hour work day; they complain that it would give them only an hour or so for lunch instead of the traditional three-hour midday siesta at home and, more important, would cut into the overtime they often pile up by staying...
