Stepping carefully down the ramp and into a long, slow handshake from the President of the U.S., Queen Elizabeth smiled a little nervously, gratefully accepted a bouquet of roses from Mrs. John Foster Dulles. Following the Queen, Prince Philip, hatless, debonair and full of bounce, joined his wife and the President before a swarm of polite but persistent photographers (who epitomize, the President explained to the Queen with an ice-breaking smile, "the nearest we have...

Eight hours after the operation, still groggy from the anesthesia, Mamie had a visitor. Carrying a bouquet of "Mamie Pink" carnations, President Eisenhower paid a half-hour visit to the same three-room VIP suite where he convalesced last year from his operation for ileitis. He spent most of the time talking to the doctors, reported later at his press conference that Mrs. Eisenhower "medically [was] doing splendidly." (There was no sign of malignancy.)
