In a voice charged with emotion, the marshal says: "I just wantcha ta know I'd a never made it withoutcha." And as he drags himself off to join...
Short Game. In the vacation department, Ike's face was burned cherry red, his cough cured, his humor high, and he tackled Augusta's tough and tantalizing course every afternoon.

Mr. Eisenhower, who intimated that he had not found a federal post suitable for Hall, might consider having the present sheriff of Nassau County promoted, so that Len could get his old job back. That way everybody would be happy, or almost everybody...
