...created by law and would give the Chief Executive, to sit at his side, at least five persons who have been nominated by him and been confirmed by the Senate. These five men would be freed from the responsibility of administering any of the departments of the Executive branch, as Cabinet secretaries do today...
...Nixon-Adams relationship has become one of considerable discussion-and misinterpretation. Headlined the Toronto Globe and Mail last week: POWER FIGHT WAGED BY NIXON AND ADAMS.

This organization was no more political than a campus branch of the Y.M.C.A., but after the Hungarian massacre last year, the Reds grew jumpy about any non-Communist student organization-especially one with so opiniated a pastor...
