...Force steward put an enormous breakfast tray in front of him (orange juice, cantaloupe, filet mignon, mashed potatoes, Melba toast and coffee), but Ike, preoccupied with the tragedy below, merely toyed with his meal. As the Columbine cruised slowly over Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, low cloud formations closed in, and Ike got only occasional views of the flooded areas. Allentown, Pa. floated underneath, between cloud drifts, looking untouched by the flood. Over Connecticut, the clouds opened up long enough for the President to get a good look at the swollen Naugatuck River, and at Derby, with flood...

The new man, said Wilson, had to have "financial and mechanical experience." He had to be tightlipped, noncontroversial and acceptable to the Senate; and it would help if he knew something about politics, the Pentagon, the aerial weapons of the future, and had "sat next...
