The Eisenhower health issue has been knocked out by Ike's robust appearance, and the Nixon issue is undermined by Nixon's own high-level campaigning. There are, however, some intense regional issues, e.g., the farm program in the Midwest, local unemployment problems in such states as Indiana and Michigan, segregation in the South...

Slapping Adlai Stevenson for his "prissy little jab at President Eisenhower's favorite game, golf," the News totted up 3,500,000 U.S. golfers and concluded: "In sneering at golf, a politician takes much the same risk...
