...post. Nixon seriously considered quitting Government, but abandoned the idea and told Ike that he preferred to run for Vice President again. Adams was toppled into ignominy in 1958 by the Goldfine affair, and Nixon found firm White House support from Adams' successor, Wilton B. ("Jerry") Persons, a genial Alabamian, and from ever influential Jim Hagerty...
...Amman radio beat the drums with promises of "big news" about the case (and Cairo Radio mumbled embarrassedly), Lieut. Madani had the run of the air force base where he was detained, eating at the officers' mess and sharing a room with a Jordanian air force officer in genial camaraderie.

His addresses to the local dinner and to the nation over closed-circuit TV were hard-hitting and effective; he seems to have refined most of the corn out of his talks, at least in Boston. In general, the impression was strong that the Republicans are not dead in Massachusetts...
