Vice-President Richard M. Nixon Visits USSR
Vice President Richard Nixon and Khrushchev at the opening of the United States Fair in Moscow. Vice-President Nixon engages Soviet chief Khrushchev in a free-wheeling debate ranging over nearly every outstanding Soviet-American issue, unconventional diplomacy that makes world-wide headlines with forthright, hard-hitting discussions of potentially explosive topics.
Rally Of The People Hails Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro
Fidel Castro's leadership of Cuba's masses is proved beyond dispute as vast numbers of machete-wielding peasants crowd into Havana for one of the greatest mass demonstrations ever staged in the Western Hemisphere, celebration of the 6th anniversary of Castro coming to power. Castro puts aside politics and donning a baseball uniform to pitch a full inning in a special benefit game against an International League nine and striking out the first 3 batters he faced.
Japanese Beauty Akiko Kojima Named Miss Universe
A statuesque Japanese beauty with a classic figure by any standards (Western or otherwise) is named "Miss Universe" in the 1959 global beauty pageant at Long Beach, California. Miss Japan, 22-year old Akiko Kojima is crowned Miss Universe at this 8th Miss Universe pageant.
Summer Ski Jump Uses Plastic Not Snow
In Italy, a new plastic gives wings to ski-birds grounded by summer. Despite lack of snow they soar as far as 150 feet from a ramp of the new substance with as thrilling a contest as any staged in December.
Harness Racing At German Seaside Resort
At a German sea-side resort, Harness Racing trotters move from the turf to the tide-flats, splashing through the surf in high-stepping style, to beat the heat while bathers try to dope the form on the muddiest track of all time!
