...Prelude. Ike was not exactly warm toward Goldwater, who in 1960 had labeled the Eisenhower Administration "a dime-store New Deal." Still, he declined to become part of a stop-Goldwater movement. On May 14 Eisenhower told newsmen he would support "whoever is nominated," and the next day he appeared on national television to say that "I personally believe that Goldwater-Senator Goldwater-is not as extreme as some people have made him. But, in any event, we are all Republicans...
...bath, to a converted Wehrmacht barracks. Embassies are scattered from Cologne, 18 miles north of Bonn, to Rolandseck, ten miles south in the neighboring state of Rhineland Palatinate, where the Russians have taken over an old resort hotel. Chilean diplomats must work above the din of a five-and-dime store on the floor be low; the small, ugly British chancellery is smack in the middle of a cornfield, across the street from a Coca-Cola plant. New buildings, like the sprawling U.S. office complex known as the Pentabonn, have been cannily designed so that they can be converted...

The cops' correct number happens to be SA (for Saint George) 7-1200, but someone goofed when it came to listing it in the police roster. Manhattanites are told to call SPring 7-3100, which is hard enough to remember and even harder to dial in the dark. When help finally...
...when the Roosevelt dime came out, the U.S. mint was flooded with queries about the initials J.S. at the base of Franklin Roosevelt's neck. Quite a few outraged folks thought the letters stood for Joseph Stalin, and that it was all a Communist plot, until Designer John Sinnock patiently explained that the initials were his. Now there is a flurry over the new Kennedy half-dollar, and it's the Reds again. Complaints are coming into the Denver mint that there is a hammer and sickle on the coin. Wearily, the mint's Chief Sculptor...
