Earlier, in his press conference, Butler criticized Time magazine, labeling it "the house organ of the Republican Party." "When George Allen was a friend of Truman, Time called him the cigar-smoking, gin-drinking crony of the president; now when he is one of Eisenhower's friends, he is called an outstanding diplomat and businessman...
Suitcase Companies. This February, 1,000 tourists a day went down ships' gangways and airplane ramps (Nassau is a 55-minute flight from Miami) to lose themselves in the Bahamas' magical blend of suntan, goombay music, Beefeater Gin (at $2 a bottle), crazy straw hats and Sweet Richard's single-entendre ditties at the Cat and Fiddle Club. Commerce, which flourished briefly in the blockade-running days of the Civil War and the rum-running days of Prohibition, is again running wild. And, in a respectable way, the pirates are back...

Eighteen of the men have been under psychoanalysis. ¶ At least on their own estimate, they are a restrained lot; 140 drink more than they did in college (Scotch is preferred to bourbon or gin), but 137 drink less, and 27 sit stoutly on the wagon. Card playing is preferred to sex as a favorite indoor sport (181 to 47), with squash (29) and table tennis (12) not too far behind. Three hardy Princetonians say they still play football, and one ropes calves...
