That aside came at the White House showing of another presidential portrait-this one a new painting of Franklin Delano Roosevelt by New York Artist Elizabeth Shoumatoff.* On hand for the nostalgic, two-hour East Room ceremony, which commemorated the late President's 85th birthday, were three of F.D.R.'s children, Anna, Franklin Jr. and John, as well as such aging Roosevelt aides as former Attorney General Francis Biddle and F.D.R.'s personal secretary, Grace Tully. Carefully characterizing himself "not as a judge of painting, but as a judge of men," L.B.J. nonetheless could not resist noting...

...year Tokyo tenure,. Joe Grew found himself in just that posi tion, and his efforts to sway the issue toward peace were, even though un successful, a model of diplomacy at its finest. When he died last week, two days before his 85th birthday, in Manchester, Mass., Grew still symbolized the very best of another era of American diplomacy - an era in which ambassadors in trouble posts operated un der broad directives, were not bound to the clacking embassy teletype and made considerable policy on their own initiative...
