...rolled into the heart of the great grey city. A small Stars and Stripes fluttered from the left fender; the license plate read "U.S.A. 1." From hundreds of thousands of Londoners thronging outside rows of semidetached brick houses, leaning out of town mansions, tumbling out of pubs, standing six deep in Hyde Park, the shouts went up: "Glad to see you, Ike," "Welcome," "Good for you, Ike." As the Rolls-Royce rolled into Grosvenor Square, from which General Eisenhower had directed his victorious World War II armies (G.I.s called the square "Eisenhower Platz"), a husky, shirtsleeved man said: "We like...
...Eisenhower, the return to Europe was an occasion of deep sentiment, and more than once, newsmen thought they saw the trace of tears in his eyes. But the meaning of Ike's trip went far beyond his personal feeling for Europe, or its feeling for him. In the very shouts and cheers lay a basic acceptance of the President's ability to deal with Nikita Khrushchev during their coming exchange of visits.

Mather is also the nation's lowest-paid public university president ($15,000 a year). But the propaganda cut deep; Mather resigned largely to "stop this personal monkey business" (he will stay through next June). To Educator Mather, it seems unlikely that culture-conscious Massachusetts will lose one of its oddest distinctions-spending less (2.32%) of the tax dollar for higher education than any other state in the Union...
Almost Old-Fashioned. As his primitivist monuments faded to grimy familiarity, Epstein found himself an accepted eccentric. Acceptance slowly turned to deep respect, and in 1954 the old volcano became "Sir Jacob." A new generation of sculptors was shocking the public in its turn, with carvings full of holes, welded metal totems, and assemblies from the junk yard. Epstein by contrast came to seem imbued with Semitic melancholy, soft-edged and almost oldfashioned...
