This is the country where any little boy can Grow Up To Be President--even if he's rich. But from all appearances, the job that has in the past been held by such men as Grant, Harding, and Eisenhower will be empty after 1961, because no one wants it. Of course the routine of patriotic reluctance and ultimate submission to an "unwanted" nomination is old and familiar. But we are now asked to witness a display of coquetry unprecedented even in William Jennings Bryan's day: the spectacle of the dozen or so most qualified and ambitious...

...Gates, in sharp contrast, is a stiff-upper-lip Philadelphia investment banker and World War II Navyman (four stripes in Air Intelligence). He went to Washington as Under Secretary to Navy Secretary Robert Anderson (now Secretary of the Treasury), inevitably inherited the top Navy job in 1957. He ran a taut and tidy ship, was always willing to listen and learn, but ready with a decision when it was called for. When a new naval aide reported to him for duty, Gates told him: "Look, I need ideas. I can light my own cigarettes." Says a three-star admiral...
