...general, the nation's newspapers bade Ike a fond and sentimental farewell. "Dwight Eisenhower retires with the affection, respect and confidence of the nation and much of the world," said the Dallas Morning News. "No other man in universal history amassed so much influence or power at one time without taking the one more step: assumption of an imperial diadem or the trappings of dictatorship ... It behooves [President Kennedy] to remember, as we think he does, that neither the U.S. nor the rest of the world is through with Dwight Eisenhower." In Los Angeles, the Republican Times called...

They are also wary of the effects of a sudden return to good relations with Cuba after their expansion plans are well under way. The Florida optimists scoff at this, say Cuba will never...
Died. T/Sgt. Martin Maher, 84, a broguish Irish immigrant whose 50 years of duty at the U.S. Military Academy won him the lifelong affection of West Pointers ranging from John J. Pershing to Dwight Eisenhower, an unprecedented full-dress review of the Corps of Cadets upon his retirement in 1946, and a shiny screen biography (The Long Gray Line) in 1955; of a stroke; at West Point Army Hospital. As a mess waiter, nonswimming swimming coach and gym custodian, Maher was outranked but never outclassed by protégés who worked their way from bars to stars...
