In it she says: "The President was born in a twin bed near the window on May 29, 1917, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They always used the bed near the window, so if the baby were born in the daytime the light would be better for the doctor. Years later, when Jack was elected President, I thought how fortunate I was, out of all the mothers in the United States, to have my son inaugurated President on that cold, cold...
...policemen were deemed necessary to guarantee Rockefeller and his team of advisers tranquillity for their talks with President José Maria Velasco Ibarra and a dozen groups of assorted political and business leaders.

The administration of justice in the Northwest costs about $600,000 a year, not a little of which goes for chartered planes. The Canadian government is willing to spend the money in an effort to treat the Eskimo the same as any other...

It is more than surprising to hear that a scholar who has studied natural science at the University of Edinburgh; history, law, and medicine in Moscow; biology in Berlin; and psychoanalysis in Vienna would have his many works excluded...
