...threats were made grimly explicit earlier in the week when thousands of Japanese leftists, singing the Internationale and responding on cue to the orders of their leaders, mobbed Ike's advance men, Press Secretary James Hagerty and White House Appointments Secretary Thomas Stephens, as they tried to drive to the city from Tokyo's International Airport with U.S. Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II (see FOREIGN NEWS). Tokyo's police chief flatly announced that he could not "guarantee Eisenhower's safety" when the President arrives next Sunday...
Twelve minutes ahead of schedule, the President, his son, Lieut. Colonel John Eisenhower, and John's wife Barbara climbed aboard the sleek orange-and-silver jet. With a final wave, Ike was off for the first leg of his 22,795-mile trip, to Anchorage, Alaska. Seven and a half hours later, he touched down in Anchorage to a welcome by Governor William Egan...

Although he was born and raised a Republican, Conrad's personal enthusiasms are presently those of an Adlai Stevenson Democrat. He voted for Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, has since made Ike appear as a progressively older and near-senile sort. Admonished by his editors, Conrad replies: "I consulted a doctor. He said that it's perfectly logical for a man's appearance to change that way as he grows older." Besides, says Conrad, "the way I draw him, he is perfectly recognizable." Conrad can make Republican Richard Nixon look ridiculous without making him a Herblock subspecies. Similarly...
