...holiday wreath was on the front door of the Gettysburg farmhouse, the tree was trimmed, and Dwight Eisenhower, 75, just a week out of Washington's Walter Reed Hospital after recovery from his November heart attack in Augusta, Ga., settled down with Mamie, his son John and four grandchildren for a private and grateful Christmas. His doctors' greetings: he can take short strolls and climb stairs now. Said Ike with a grin: "I expect I'll be playing golf again within a month-but slowly...

By 2 a.m., Eisenhower had been taken to the white frame Army hospital at nearby Fort Gordon, and was resting comfortably in Suite T4, a special five-room, cottage-like suit: that is always held vacant for him when he is in Augusta. A team of heart specialists was summoned, including Dr. Thomas Mattingly of Washington, who had treated Ike in 1955.
