...subscriber was Louis Schweitzer himself, who was also serving as unsalaried manager. The station could hardly have more fond attention. Schweitzer, one of three brothers in a firm that makes specialty papers (it merged in 1957 with Kimberly-Clark), keeps a G.E. transmitter tube on his desk because he considers it beautiful, has been an active ham operator since...
France took a fond pride in its rising young star. Hatless, in rumpled trenchcoat, cigarette dangling, he became a familiar figure along the Boulevard St. Germain, and on his arm there always seemed to be a pretty woman. But life still remained a procession of causes. He resigned from UNESCO when Franco's Spain joined the U.N.; he campaigned for German workers killed by Communist police in East Berlin.

But his work had only begun: Congress convenes next week; his State of the Union Message is due before the end of the month. Beyond that lie his budget message and his promised fight to preserve the budget balance...
...Which had given its man's plight big play every day he was in jail, including some fond embroidery. "His empty chair in the news room," said one story, with the picture of a chair, "carries the faded old motto he pasted on its back a couple of years ago." The chair actually belonged to Herald Religion Editor Adon Taft, and the motto - "Do unto Others" - was pasted on years ago by a mischievous copy...
