...started during the 1952 presidential campaign. Dwight Eisenhower, 73, and Harry Truman, 79, had some hard words to say about one another, and ever since, relations between them have been cool. But when the two ex-Presidents met in Washington for John F. Kennedy's funeral, old angers did not seem to matter so much. Eisenhower invited H.S.T. to ride with him to Ar lington, and after the burial Harry had Ike and Mamie in to Blair House for coffee and sandwiches. Quietly the two men talked of the problems and perils of the presidency. After half an hour...
...Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Pennsylvania's William Scranton, Alabama's George Wallace. G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, wore a black bow tie with green polka dots. Fifty Senators and 100 Representatives-only the most senior-were there, along with former Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman, Richard and Pat Nixon, Evangelist Billy Graham, Henry Ford, IBM's Thomas J.

...Lyndon Johnson would readily agree, and as the U.S. may rest assured, he is far from being a nonentity. Perhaps still another Vice President best described his skills. "He is," Richard Nixon once said, "one of the ablest political craftsmen of our time." During Republican Dwight Eisenhower's two terms, Johnson was the Senate's Democratic floor leader, and between presidential election years he was generally recognized as the U.S.'s most powerful Democrat. By the time he accepted his party's vice-presidential nomination, he was probably the only Democrat in the country who could...
Only two of the nine Crimson teams posted victories over their Eli opponents. Leverett mixed a powerful running game with an accurate passing attack directed by quarterback Steve Gelbach to shut out Timothy Dwight College, 21 to 0. Kirkland, the third place finisher in the House League, made a second quarter score stand up as it eked out an 8-0 victory over Calhoun College...
