Behind closed doors Turkey's Foreign Minister Fatin Zorlu urged him to be "cautious and realistic" in his coming dealings with the Russians. Ike assured the Turks that U.S. willingness to negotiate with the U.S.S.R. did not mean that the U.S. would give ground. That evening, at a dinner in the presidential palace, the President of the U.S. paid his own unique tribute to the doughty land that had done him such honor. Said he: "No power on earth, no evil, no threat can frustrate a people of your spirit...
Once the Allies secured the Normandy landings, the Americans again got in the way. Why were they always complaining about cautious, tidy Montgomery when he was really taking the brunt of the battle? (The fact is that many military men, including Germans, feel that Monty could have taken his major objective, Caen, in the first days if he had chosen to move instead of sitting.) After the breakout, Brookie was again peeved. Why didn't Ike let Monty take the bulk of the armies and finish off the Germans in the Ruhr? Instead, Ike insisted on forming up along...
...Archbishop Albert Gregory Meyer, 56, appointed last September to succeed Chicago's late Samuel Cardinal Stritch as head of the largest Catholic archdiocese in the U.S. (1,942,000 members).

"My brethren," cried Amer, "be cautious of the intrigues of the opportunists and of destructive rumors." There was nothing, he added fervently, to the rumors that the Syrian army's pay scale would be cut to bring it in line with Egypt...
...that Favorite Son Brown might have his sights focused on a lesser prize. In a September conference with Lyndon Johnson, the peripatetic Brown said frankly that Johnson could never win the California primary, though he thought Missouri's Stuart Symington could. This was enough to start a cautious Symington-Brown boomlet, which Symington backers hope to push into a second stage next winter at a Symington testimonial dinner in Missouri-with Brown as the featured speaker and most favored veep. ¶In Norman, Okla., oil-rich Oklahoma Senator Robert S. Kerr (himself a Democratic presidential hopeful...
