Baggy-eyed from a whirl of trips to Bangkok, New Delhi, Ankara, Oslo and Geneva, Secretary of State Dean Rusk turned up at the dedication of the John Foster Dulles Memorial Library and Research Center at the headquarters of the National Council of Churches in Manhattan, recalled with wonder the unflagging energy of his late predecessor. Said Rusk, a State Department sub-Cabinet officer when Dulles negotiated the Japanese Peace Treaty in 1951: "We assigned staff officers to him in rotation because single officers couldn't keep up.''

Discussing nuclear '"deterrents" with a Yale group in New Haven, Conn., British Biologist Sir Julian Huxley said: "I prefer to call them 'detergents' because we must not forget their awesome capability of literally cleaning us off the globe."

In his final sermon as Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Francis Fisher told worshipers in high-vaulted St. Paul's Cathedral of the paradox that enabled Britain to survive the end of empire. "Because of its inherited and passionate belief in freedom," said he, "British imperialism had at its very heart a disbelief in the ultimate Tightness of imperialism. For that very reason, the empire could grow out of being an empire into being a commonwealth."

First Lady of the U.S. by virtue of her husband's position, Jacqueline Kennedy, by virtue of her own beauty and taste, is also First Lady of Fashion. Despite her desires, stylists study her every purchase. While she was off in Canada, fashion circles bubbled with rumors that Jackie was smuggling Paris creations into the White House, thus snubbing her official designer, Oleg Cassini, who in turn spanked Jackie by giving his sister-in-law a gown copied from one he had created for the First Lady. When Jackie admitted that she had indeed bought a Givenchy dress, U.S. couturiers paled, saw visions of her shopping at foreign salons while in Paris this week, warned that Manhattan's Seventh Avenue might turn into a depressed area. As the hatbox-sized hullabaloo raged, an Italian designer kicked up another fuss by unchivalrously knocking Jackie's knees. "The First Lady of America is elegant," said he in the Roman magazine Oggi, "but she should wear longer skirts. The kneecap is always anti-esthetic even when--and this is not the case with Mrs. Kennedy--one has beautiful legs, such as those of Sophia Loren or Marlene Dietrich." Deplaning in New York later in the week, Sophia Loren displayed her own distinctly esthetic knees as she rushed to the First Lady's defense, calling her legs "marvelous."

Accustomed to interviewing McGeorge Bundy regularly when he was dean of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the editors of the Harvard Crimson telephoned him at the White House to ask if he had anything to do with eliminating Latin from diplomas--a burning issue in Cambridge. When he heard some of his ex-sparring mates on the wire, Presidential Assistant Bundy, preoccupied with such problems as Laos and Cuba, asked tartly: "Are you guys still in business?" Said the newspaper next day: "In a fit of self-control, the Crimson refrained from asking Bundy the same question."

Although the medium has made him famous, Dr. Frank Baxter, 65, bald, genial lecturer on Shakespeare and science, had some scornful words for television. "The idiots who run TV ... think people are best pleased at the low, hypnotic and opiate level," he told his last Shakespeare class, as he prepared to retire from the University of Southern California. Said Baxter: "There is no law in America which deprives people of reading."

"For the past ten years I've been on the air doing a great deal of talking," said TV's soft-spoken Dave Garroway, 47, announcing his resignation as host of NBC's Today show. "I want to start looking, thinking, and listening.'' Burdened by his wife's death (TIME, May 5), he also wants to be a good father to his three children "during a critical period in their lives." Said he: "Our family needs each other now more than ever."

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai E. Stevenson won a couple of diverse honors last week, accepted both with cool aplomb. Named "National Father of the Year" by the National Father's Day Committee, he spoke out in defense of that "butt of the comic strips" and "boob of the radio and TV serials," the American father. Said Adlai, father of three and grandfather of three: "Life with father seems to have degenerated into a continuous sequence of disrespect, or tolerance at best . . . Even though we don't want him to be the autocrat of the breakfast table, I think we might consider giving him at least a polite seat at the table." Earlier in the week, Adlai received a more noteworthy tribute from ex-Senator Herbert H. Lehman, who announced the creation of an Adlai E. Stevenson Foundation to provide scholarships for 60 Jewish Theological Seminary students. "I have received many honors," said Adlai at a fund-raising dinner that quickly tapped 24 well-heeled guests for $625,000 of a $1,500,000 goal, "but none have moved or pleased me more than this."

Winner by three-quarters of a length in the Winston Churchill Stakes at suburban London's Hurst Park last week was the 5-to-4 favorite, a four-year-old named High Hat. Owner: Sir Winston Churchill. Purse to winner: $5,714.

Two of the best catches in the British Isles caught each other last week. Married in rural Devonshire were rich, handsome Anthony Nutting, 41, once a rising Tory who quit as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in 1956 in protest against the Suez invasion, and Anne Gunning, 30, elegant, mint-cool Irish model and onetime LIFE cover girl (Aug. 10, 1953).

She claims remote descent from Ireland's famed Gunning sisters, Maria and Eliza beth, who went to London 200 years ago and made some pretty fair catches themselves: Maria hooked the Earl of Coventry; Elizabeth got the Duke of Hamilton and later the Duke of Argyll.

After four years as a widow, during which she started and then scrapped a book on the stormy career of her late husband, Communist-hunting Republican Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, Mrs. Jean Kerr McCarthy, 36, former college beauty queen, disclosed plans to wed a widower whose wife also died four years ago. Her choice: G. Joseph Minetti, 53, Brooklyn lawyer, Civil Aeronautics Board member and confirmed Democrat.

Ill lay: Evangelist Billy Graham, nearly speechless for a few days with a bronchial infection, in London; Cinemactress Marilyn Monroe, after minor gynecological surgery, in Hollywood; Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II, bedded by infectious mononucleosis, in Grosse Pointe, Mich.; and Cinemactress June Allyson, after surgery to remove polyps from her vocal cords, in Santa Monica, Calif.

Anxious to dispose of a Prohibition-era hangover, the U.S. Government hauled Ralph ("Bottles") Capone, 67, Al's older brother, into Chicago's Federal Court to try to make him pay an interest-bloated, $217,716 tab for ducking his 1926-1928 income taxes. Billed for $87,217.33 in 1935. Ralph dodged process servers, won trial delays, while the figure grew relentlessly. Last week Ralph, who insists that his sole source of income is his hunting lodge in Mercer, Wis., won yet another delay, a four-week continuance.
