After a whirlwind of paperwork, Ike flew with Mamie to Augusta at week's end, where-between alternate engagements at the links and in his office-he munched (in the Kelly green coat of the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club) crackers from the "Eisenhower Cracker Barrel," a pine-wooded whimsical memento contributed by Treasury ex-Secretary George Humphrey. Rising to the folksiness of the occasion, Ike said between munches, "There'll be no trouble from here on out for the world...
...flew in a B-29 half a mile behind the plane that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, later lined up against J. Robert Oppenheimer's refusal to speed development of the hydrogen bomb. Light-haired, blue-eyed, easygoing, he sports a yellow Lincoln convertible, shoots mid-80s golf (he sent President Eisenhower an electronic golf trainer that he had invented), once told his father: "I probably would be a better physicist if I turned longhair and stayed in the laboratory on Saturday nights and Sundays.

...Nobel Prize for his discovery (in 1940) of element 94 (plutonium), has since played a heavy role in finding subsequent elements (through No. 101).

...Tokyo's delicately landscaped Kasumigaseki (Sea Mist) golf course, with its 200-year-old pine trees, its wiry Korai-grass greens, and its slight but well-stacked female caddies, was too much for the occidental stars competing for the Canada Cup. While U.S. Tourists Sam ("Mr. Sneado") Snead and Jimmy Demaret paced the visitors with a respectable 72-hole total of 566, pudgy Torakichi Nakamura teamed up with Manchurian-born Koichi Ono to score an incredible 557. Said an observer of the Japanese: "I never saw such putting in my life." Said Mr. Sneado: "I never saw better caddies...
