...President Eisenhower get the right operation for his ileitis? What are his chances of regaining sufficiently good health to serve in the presidency for four more years? Politics aside, these questions have been the basis of bee-buzz conversations over cigarettes and coffee in many hospitals or medical-centers' common room since the President's operation (TIME, June 18). Neither can be answered with the kind finality that marked the first bulletins after Ike's operation...
Once Peggy Nelson had set the ball rolling, bureau consultants helped Snoqualmie's townspeople organize 18 study committees with memberships ranging from bankers to lumberjacks. Each group diagnosed a Snoqualmie ailment. When one of the innumerable "buzz sessions" established that Peggy's pond and the town's irksome high-water level rose and fell together, an improvement district was organized, and a $12,000 drainage ditch eliminated both health hazards.

...minute Congress adjourns each summer, U.S. Senators and Representatives buzz off like bumblebees in clover. Years ago, they used to head home for personal fence-mending; in the era of mass communications, they head for Europe in the hope of headlines and, on their return, TV appearances. The biggest Congressional tourist attraction this season, by all odds, was Soviet Russia and her satellites, most of whom rolled up the Iron Curtain and rolled out the Welcome reception became. During an interview with Soviet Commissars Georgy Malenkov and Lazar Kaganovich. Malone enthusiastically toastedco-existence, and then impetuously offered the Russians...
