...Majority Leader Bob Taft, billed as Ike's inevitable antagonist, has to date shown himself to be the Administration's dependable and loyal majority leader. White House-Capitol Hill relations got a new twist when Dwight Eisenhower reached for the phone and called Virginia's Harry Byrd. Thanks, said the President to the Senator, for raising the question about "Engine Charlie" Wilson's General Motors stockholdings; it was good to get that one ironed out right at the start.

Written for the Feast of All Saints, it was arranged for male voices by Harvard's Professor A. T. Davison.
