...ever-present outdoor tables and chairs of the sidewalk cafes. Even the awnings had been furled into safe tight rolls. And then the stage was readied: megaphones and loudspeakers were set up, political banners strung, and huge powerful arc lights borrowed from movie studios were brought out to illuminate the scene for television...

Even some of the President's supporters worry that he is devoting more energy to matters of style-such as reviewing Armistice Day troops at the Arc de Triomphe on foot rather than by car, and approving a more solemn version of La Marseillaise (TIME, Nov. 18) -than to problems of substance.

...Like a shopping center, there are a number of parts to it. The library and the museum are in separate buildings. Eisenhower's boyhood home has been restored. The former president and his infant first born son are buried in the chapel-like Place of Meditation.

And still the Center grows; a large new visitors' reception facility is under construction...
