...years in the White House, Dwight Eisenhower has not only become a faithful daily newspaper reader (New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Washington Post), but he has learned to read between the lines of inspired political stories as well. Thus, over the past few weeks, he began to feel that he was being pressured by inspired "leaks" about the future of Charles E.

Says he: "My neck is out. I'm either going to hang or dance." If he dances, it could be a mighty merry jig, both...

"Nothing shocks us in this reconstitution," reported Le Canard Enchaineé "It is as if we were seeing an American film perfectly dubbed."
