...squad of newsmen latched on to Ike's personal physician, Major General Howard Snyder, with the No. 1 question in the public mind since the President underwent intestinal surgery on June 9: How is he doing? They knew that Dr. Snyder and two colleagues-Major General Leonard D. Heaton, who performed the operation, and Colonel Thomas W. Mattingly, the Walter Reed heart specialist-had just put their patient through a new physical examination. Summed up old (75) Doc Snyder: The President "is in fine shape." His electrocardiogram shows "no deterioration" of the heart. His weight is between...
...operation daily diet of 1,800 calories had been increased to 2,500; slowly, he was recovering some of his lost weight. He was feeling "stronger and stronger," he told his doctors. The physicians-the White House's Howard Snyder, Walter Reed Hospital's Leonard Heaton, Philadelphia Specialist Isidor Ravdin-all agreed.

In a short while the Eisenhowers and their weekend guests, Walter Reed Hospital Commander Major General Leonard Heaton (who performed the ileitis operation) and Mrs. Heaton, were all soaking up an afternoon nap. A double celebration was in order for the weekend: it was the Eisenhowers' 40th wedding anniversary, the Heatons' 30th. For at least the next two weeks, Ike would receive White House officials...
Unhealthy Prognosis. In Chicago Democratic Chairman Paul Butler purpled over the unequivocal approval of a re-election campaign given by Ike's surgeon, Major General Leonard D. Heaton, a scant ten hours after the operation (TIME, June 18). Butler condemned Republicans for practicing a "new science of politico-medicine." In Chicago Dr. David Allman, who last week was chosen president-elect of the American Medical Association, burbled (without examining any of the subjects) that the President would now be "in better physical condition than any of his opponents-Republican or Democratic-have been at any time in their lives...
