Spotlight of History Continues at UN (Universal Newsreel, Sep 1960)

Description

The original release sheet reads: SPOTLIGHT OF HISTORY CONTINUES AT UN The dramatic march of events continues at the historic session of the General Assembly. Cuba’s Fidel Castro leaves for home, but on the same day, President Sukarno of Indonesia and King Hussein of Jordan arrive to keep up the amazing roster of major world figures assembled in New York. At UN headquarters, the speech of Prime Minister MacMillan is interrupted by unprecedented outbursts of bad temper by Khrushchev that shocks nearly every delegate present. IKE AND PRINCE AKIHITO At the White House, the President and First Lady play host to Prince Akhito and his commoner bride Princess Michiko at a glittering state dinner. MECHANICAL MADNESS A French artist-engineer-philosopher demonstrates his new art form – awesomely complicated machines that whiz, whirl and rattle in all kinds of ingenious ways but produce absolutely nothing – machines with no function except to function. FASHION PARADE In New York, a panoramic preview of leather fashions for winter, every hour, every day, and every clime, from ski-lodge to sunny Southern sight-seeing, or evening elegance. SPORTS In San Francisco, New York’s pro grid Giants come from behind to overcome a two-touchdown margin and the great play of the 49ers Y.A. Tittle, to forge ahead in the last 8 minutes and hold their margin for a dazzling 21-19 victory.
