House as an institution. "The House is the greatest jury on earth," says Sam Rayburn. In his capacity as chief juror, he soon decided that Wilbur Mills was a real comer. He brought Mills along, got him elected to Ways & Means in 1942, saw him become chairman last year...
Under a line of umbrellas held aloft by soldiers in dress blues, the President of the U.S. walked briskly along a red carpet toward the presidential plane Columbine III. Down from the aircraft stepped another President: scholarly Arturo Frondizi, first Argentine chief of state ever to visit the U.S. Ike and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles greeted the visitor with warm handshakes, and Dulles' wife Janet smilingly handed Sefiora Elena de Frondizi a bouquet of red roses. Then, in keeping with the printed "Inclement Weather Plan" of the State Department's think-of-everything protocol section, visitors...
...chief of AFOAT-1, Northrup built a detective force that correlated data from delicate seismographs and from patrol weather planes scooping up radioactive dust over the Pacific (prevailing winds carried Russian bomb particles eastward) for rapid analysis and report.

The total East German apparatus, he declared, involved control of 60,000 agents, with 13,000 of his own agents working undercover...
Dombrowski's defection was welcomed not only for the information he brought, but as a badly needed shot in the arm for Western "spook" organizations, which are one of Berlin's major industries. They have had a bad year. The chief of a West Berlin refugee camp for Russian and Polish defectors last month was arrested and reportedly confessed that he had been working for the Communists since spring. The potent Investigating Committee of Free Jurists, whose network of spies in East Germany helps make life miserable for the Red rulers of that unhappy state, suffered a series...
