...SEARCHLIGHTS ARE GOING ON AND LIGHTING UP THE VEHICLE. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. Meanwhile at the White House, Presidential Aide Andy Goodpaster relayed the countdown, received over a Pentagon line, to Press Secretary James Hagerty in Augusta. From Central Control at 10:33 the calm voice on the mike droned on: "T minus 15 and still counting...
...Calm Focus. Shrewd and impenetrably affable, Dulles talked with calm realism. Let's get things in focus, was his theme.

Palm Springs' Dr. Herman M.

Against the wintry backdrop of statistics, President Eisenhower sent to Congress this week a calm reminder of the U.S. economy's strength and a firm prediction of its renewed growth. The President's yearly Economic Report, drafted with the help of his Council of Economic Advisers, reiterated that 1957 was a year of record-setting prosperity. Total industrial output equaled the 1956 record. Gross national product ($434 billion) and total personal income '($343 billion) surpassed 1956 levels by 5%. At midyear the employment total stood at a new record high of 67.2 million, and the last quarter...
