...said that during rehearsals conductor Iva Dee Hiatt (of Smith College) called forth this attitude by fervent references to her home institution and its undergraduates' most exuberant moments (an invitation from Yale, etc.). Whatever the merits of these tactics, there can be little doubt that Miss Hiatt is an effective conductor. Under her direction, the Chorus marched through the evening with a most un-amateur precision; attacks were sharp and clear, the tone clear and even...
...likes of Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Costello.

He said his Administration had played no favorites in administering the stockpile program, a program which, he emphasized, "operated under laws that existed long before I got there." As for George Humphrey, Ike remained a fervent admirer. Said he: "If Secretary Humphrey ever did a dishonest thing in his life, I'm ready to mount the cross and you can put the nails and spear...
