Prodding the President. Harry Truman, in his own way, was all for Monroe. "The reason we're in trouble in Cuba," he said, "is that Ike didn't have the guts to enforce the Monroe Doctrine."

South Carolina's Senator Strom Thurmond said the President's comments on Cuba "indicate strongly that the Monroe Doctrine has recently been reinterpreted with major omissions." In the Senate debate on the Administration request for stand-by authority to call...
...this historic shot taken while there's still time," he said.

Three times Johnson confused his smartly uniformed police escort by halting the motorcade and hopping out of his car to grasp all the outstretched hands within reach (one observer counted 300 in five minutes). The crowds responded with the highest praise they knew: "Javid Shah!" (Long live...
Shouts of "Is Maith Liom Ike"-Gaelic for "I Like Ike" greeted Ike as he landed in Dublin for a four-day visit. After a day's rest, he took off in a helicopter for the tiny village of Roundwood to visit former Irish President Sean O'Kelly.
