...workaholic society Harry Truman would have been a flake. Right in the middle of rebuilding the world after World War II, he used to insist on interludes with his neighbors from Independence, Mo., poker games on his yacht on the Potomac and hours of inexpert splashing around in the warm waters of Key West. He was a successful President...
...Wright plays the Chorus, John Gower, with a comic subtlety which is a delightful change from Elizabethan bombastics. Like the rest of the cast he spares the audience inexpert attempts at British English, a wise decision on the part of the director Kathy Placzek.

At the beginning of the week, he and Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin met with 24 top bankers and, much to the disappointment of investors, failed to win any promise that bank interest rates will not be raised still higher. The next day Kennedy told the Senate Finance Committee...
