...opens, there is reason for confidence," said Dwight Eisenhower this week in his sixth annual Economic Report to the Congress. "The improvement in business activity which began in the second quarter of last year will be extended in the months ahead." Happily ticking off the indicators of a recession-recovered economy, he felt free to concentrate on the foe-inflation-which he has consistently named as the chief threat to long-term U.S. economic health...
Largely responsible for last week's success was Dwight Eisenhower himself. Pink-cheeked and purple-tied, Ike found his head table seat like a Rotary Club regular, ate filet mignon (rare) while 480 paying guests struggled with minute steak. He chatted amiably with tablemates, helped pass along scribbled suggestions from the floor for his own postdessert question-and-answer session to Press Club President John V.

Senate Whip Tom Kuchel took the place where deposed House Leader Joe Martin had always sat. And before the conference...
Previous Positions. By week's end Mikoyan got down to hard cases with two men who, while entirely willing to listen, shared none of the loose optimism about the real purposes of Mikoyan's visit. The men: John Foster Dulles and Dwight Eisenhower. Mustache bristling and a thoughtful scowl replacing a fortnight's smile, Mikoyan was ushered into Secretary of State Dulles' beige and rose office for a lengthy talk before he called at the White House. Conversation touched on many points, e.g., the Geneva conferences, the whereabouts of eleven U.S. flyers still missing after...
