Minutes later the scene switched to Houston, with the crowd roaring, "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You"-to which Ike briskly tapped time with his foot. A wide-eyed Texas housewife, Mrs. Calista Schneidau (a mother of six), delivered her little speech ("We've watched the performance of your Administration for three years and, sir, even in Texas we've never seen anything so good") so neatly and devotedly that in Chicago Dick Nixon leaned over to Senator Dirksen and whispered...
