Time to Sing Bass. In the midst of his cold war harassments, Kennedy kept up his pursuit of national unity, begun the week before in face-to-face talks with Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Arizona's Republican Senator Barry Goldwater. Last week, filling out the G.O.P. spectrum, he met with New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller at the White House, and later, visiting New York City for the first time since his inauguration huddled with Elder Republicans Herbert Hoover and Douglas MacArthur...
...Democratic gamble was known to everyone in Washington: time and again since 1955 the Democrats had rebuffed Dwight Eisenhower's pleas to create more federal judgeships and thus ease the burden on the U.S.'s courts. Last year, the Democrats even turned back Ike's offer to split his appointments 50-50 between both parties if Congress would only approve 40 new judgeships.

A Republican has been elected Governor since 1958, and the voters give enthusiastic support to silver-haired Senator Barry Goldwater, leader of the Republicans' conservative wing...
Looking particularly hale at his farewell before heading for Gettysburg with Mamie, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 70, fielded a press query on the space race ("It's not necessary to be first in everything. Our people are to be congratulated for doing as much as they have"), climbed aboard his private railroad car, was still signing autographs when the engineer abruptly ended his two-month California holiday...
