Pain in Maine. With agonizing reluctance, Dwight Eisenhower agreed to let Adams go. But he could not bring himself to ask for the resignation himself. To Meade Alcorn, longtime Adams friend and a fellow Dartmouth graduate, went the unenviable assignment of telling Adams. "You've got to handle it," said Ike. "It's your job, the dirtiest I can give you." Alcorn was delayed only by a frantic last-minute call from Maine's Republican Senator Frederick Payne, who insisted that, because both he and Adams had accepted Goldfine gifts, to impute dishonesty by firing Adams would...

Struggling toward an imaginary summit, the girls suddenly yipped a victory...

Earlier in the year, while dickering for fragments on behalf of Chicago's McCormick Theological Seminary with the Syrian cobbler Kando, who is unofficial middleman between the Bedouins and the scholars, Cross and his fellow scholars had been offered an exceptionally large piece from Cave 4 for $12,000.
