...Year was packed with heavy appointments. After leaving Paris, President Eisenhower touched down in Madrid and Casablanca, where, as before, people by the hundreds of thousands welcomed him with remarkable affection and thunderous cheers. Home at last from his unprecedented 22,000-mile eleven-nation tour, he got a fond greeting from Mamie and from hundreds of Washingtonians carrying sputtering sparklers. 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."

...taken life in the teeth without ever uttering a word of protest, Paul Richards shows his versatility. If it was joie de vivre before, it is mal de vivre now. Without saying a word he conveys utter abjectness, outdoing J.B. himself, who at least had fond memories. Arriving in heaven, Bontche is judged by God to be so innocent that anything in heaven is his for the asking. What Bontche asks for, and the way in which he asks for it, are so humble that God and the angels cannot but hang their heads in embarrassment...
