...Adlai Stevenson, Harry Truman, New York's Governor Averell Harriman and Michigan's Governor G. Mennen Williams. "Goaded" by these Democrats, he said, "the President and Mr. Brownell had to take drastic action in order to hold the voters of these minority groups." Almost to a man, Deep South Democrats leaped to get out of any attitude of compromise...
...unable to hear the survivors' frantic calls for help, which were swallowed in the roars of the still raging sea and wind. In the damaged lifeboat, five men died of exhaustion and exposure during the next 54 hours. By the third morning the remaining five, living armpit-deep in water, were almost too weak to move. That afternoon, as if by magic, the great steel bow of the U.S. Isbrandtsen Co. freighter Saxon loomed almost directly over their heads, framed by a rainbow as a sudden rain squall cut into the sunlight.

...azure Mediterranean skies. Then 8,000 U.S. Marines who had come 6,000 miles from Virginia in four weeks, landed in Turkey last week to grab a stake of ground just north of the historic shores of Gallipoli.

From Nuts to Mud. Many Deep South dailies echoed the blunt sentiments of Little Rock's street crowds. In Mississippi the Jackson Daily News's fire-breathing editor, Major Fred Sullens, addressed a one-word editorial to the President: "Nuts." (New York's Daily News picked up the editorial and flung it back under the headline: MISSISSIPPI MUD.) In Louisiana the Shreveport Journal added its jeer: "Heil Eisenhower! Heil to der great Fuehrer!" A more flattering comparison was made, however, by Mississippi's famed Hodding Carter, who telephoned his Delta Democrat-Times from a Maine vacation...
