Carefully J.D.R. Jr. stepped out of his car, walked indoors, and soon afterward was busily going through a sheaf of papers at his kneehole desk in the small office to the right of the front door. Though nominally retired since 1954, he is interested in many of the island's good works. Unobtrusively, he is building a small public park on the old Dane estate on a scenic headland near Seal Harbor, acquiring more land for the island's roomy Acadia National Park, paying the hospital bills of a local family, laying plans for the removal of more...
Though retired now, and careful not to overdo, J.D.R. Jr. is still the head of the clan. Each day in The Eyrie he rises at 7, breakfasts at 8 (he takes no coffee, no tea), starts work on his projects at 9. Lunch is served at noon, and afterward he takes a ritualistic one-hour nap, getting into pajamas, sleeping soundly. Sometimes he works through the afternoon; sometimes he relaxes among his Oriental wood carvings and Chinese Buddhas; sometimes he takes the second Mrs. Rockefeller (his beloved Abby died in 1948; in 1951 he married Martha Baird Allen, widow...

On Wednesday, as the British and French foreign ministers spelled out their policies at a NATO council meeting in Paris, the Suez committee sent Iran's Ali Ardalan to make another pitch to Nasser.

He was re-elected in 1940 without making a speech or spending a cent of campaign money. Soon afterward, he was visited by a delegation of eastern Washington Republicans bearing 25,000 names on a petition asking him to run for governor. Not for 40 years had the conservative eastern Washingtonians crossed the Cascades in search of a candidate. Aided by 27,000 volunteer workers, Langlie stumped the state, edged...
...soon afterward, Bruna Nofri was surprised by a sudden visit from Mayor Cerofolino, who came panting into her home to tell her that her son had been injured in an automobile accident. At the mayor's promise to take her to the injured boy, Bruna frantically hurried out with him. But instead of finding her son in the lonely cottage to which Cerofolino took her, she was set upon by the brawny Communist, stripped of her clothes and photographed naked. "Get that husband of yours back into the party," warned Cerofolino, "or everybody in town will see these pictures...
