...been a quiet evening. Gathered in the presidential suite of Chicago's Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel, the Stevenson party of 20-family members and close friends-ate a leisurely buffet dinner, then settled back to watch the returns on television. Even when Cam paign Manager James A. Finnegan came in at 10:40 p.m. to confirm what had already become obvious, there was no change in the calm, genteel atmosphere. Shortly after midnight, Adlai Stevenson picked up a carefully drafted statement, and for the second time in four years made his way to the microphones to concede to Dwight Eisenhower...
...Clock. At Chicago's Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel, Adlai Stevenson ducked out of a dinner party to huddle with Campaign Manager Jim Finnegan and Speechwriter Willard Wirtz. As rumors mounted that Adlai was preparing to concede, the Eisenhower landslide rumbled on. Ike put the lie to the "as-Maine-goes" Democratic victories of last September (TIME, Sept. 24) by sweeping up Maine's five electoral votes by an even wider margin than his 1952 victory.

...bomb tests. Some what to his surprise, the proposal received enthusiastic applause. Thus encouraged, Stevenson's professionally intellectual, politically amateurish advisers pushed their advantage, urging him to make the H-bomb his top campaign issue. Arguing against them in a top-level Chicago conference was Campaign Manager Jim Finnegan, a tough-minded political pro. Finnegan finally gave in on the ground that the H-bomb was "a way of talking about peace"-and peace was an issue that Finnegan was distressed to see the Republicans monopolizing. The strategy settled, Caltech Geochemist Harrison Brown (who had argued against...
