...Heart & Mind. Dwight Eisenhower's inner circle includes such top aides as recently embattled Assistant to the President Sherman Adams, whose "OK, SA" must still go on every staff paper submitted for presidential decision (TIME, Jan. 9, 1956), and Press Secretary James Hagerty, whose job it is to ken the presidential mind (TIME, Jan. 27). On less official but equally close terms are the American Red Cross's president, General Alfred Maximilian Gruenther, speaking as an old comrade in arms, and ex-Treasury Secretary George Humphrey, for whose economic. views the President has enormous respect...

...private eye, the hero avidly watches over the years as father and daughter become almost subhuman in their batterings at each other's dignity and sense of decency. What drives him is a need to break through the outer shells of people and look through to the frightening inner swamps of fear and desperation. What he finds in himself is a weak schizophrenic who sees the world and normal people masked against him. Spying on his own inner self, or on the girl and her father, becomes more important to him than anything that can happen in the workaday...
