Once brother Edgar was laughed out of the way, the President's fast-moving press conference ranged through 32 questions-from Britain to the Middle East, from atomics to billboards. What was the news from the disarmament talks in London? "Of course, I'm not there," said Ike, but Presidential Disarmament Adviser Harold Stassen, attending London meetings, had indicated that "we are now engaged in the most serious talks on disarmament . . . since World War II."

What was needed was a unique setup-a new civilian technical group that could work under the Air Force and supervise...
...untheatrically as possible, do very well. Jack Warner is just right in another of his Dodger fan roles and E.G. Marshall gives a good performance, if he is a little too intent on stripping bare his character for all to see.
