...glowing verdict by Jack Knight himself on Ike's first term. Wrote he: "The political phenomenon of our times is the almost childlike faith of the people in Eisenhower. One seldom hears a businessman teeing off on Ike for doing the very things that caused him to cuss out Roosevelt and Truman as 'Socialists.' The answer must be that our businessmen have changed with the times in terms of social attitudes and are glad the program is being administered by a man they trust...
...demanding perfectionist, Gruenther seldom is more than gruff to erring allied officers. He saves the rough side of his tongue for his U.S. aides, a painful process known as being "Gruentherized." It consists in a detailed itemization of all the unfortunate officer's weaknesses, punctuated by explosive cuss words. Few escape. One sufferer remembers the time Gruenther wheeled on him for some minor blooper and snapped: "Ordinarily you're a pretty smart cookie, but this is the god-damnedest foul-up I've ever seen." Said the officer later: "I felt like falling on my knees...
...Cuss Word. Despite his success as a Democratic politician, Lausche is the despair of Ohio's professional Democrats, most of whom he loudly classifies as "bosses."

For this reason, his name is a special cuss word among the members of the state's Democratic delegation to the U.S. Congress-yet even they have a sort of grudging admiration for Lausche's freewheeling manners. Says one Congressman: "The easiest way to guess what Lausche will do next is to decide how you would not do it yourself." Lausche even manages to keep his wife guessing about his politics. Last summer Jane Lausche...
...world atomic bank for peace was nearing fulfillment, even though the Soviet Union had rejected it.* As the next step, Dulles proposed a four-point agenda for 1955, with or without Red cooperation: 1) creation of an international atomic agency, 2) calling an international scientific conference to dis cuss the atom as an agent for peace, 3) opening of a reactor training school in the U.S. to teach students from abroad the working principles of atomic energy, and 4) an invitation to foreign medical men to participate in U.S. cancer research through atomic techniques...
