...brothers agreed to wait until Arthur's widow, Louise Grieb Eisenhower, completed funeral plans before deciding what to do. Next morning the President postponed a scheduled press conference and a formal dinner for Chief Justice Earl Warren. But he went ahead with a perfunctory ceremony observing the tenth anniversary of the Smith-Mundt Act permanently establishing the Voice of America. Unintended high point: when South Dakota's irrepressible Senator Karl Mundt produced a ten-year-old picture of General Eisenhower plumping for the bill, burbled, "You haven't changed a bit, Mr. President." Squinting hard...
...Arthur Eisenhower home, a low stone ranch house in the expensive Mission hills district, curious neighbors clustered to see the two Eisenhower brothers, in dark blue overcoats and Homburgs, go up the walk, step inside and give their coats to a maid.

Probably, muses one character, they are saying the same thing in the enemy camp-and sure enough King Charles had told his aide, Lord Leyland: "Francis...
...warring clans, the Sullivans and the Aliens. On either channel the image was poor. Jack Oakie's ogling, leering Bill ("Hello, you beautiful people") Brogan was a gusty old buffoon eating high off the ratings when the opposing network decided to fight him with a popular young singer (Earl Holliman). The singer had to survive Madison Avenue metaphors ("Throw Wednesday night in his lap and let him kick it around") and a scourge of publicity beaters who manufactured a cheap exchange of insults ("This feud is all that's keeping you alive...
