...drained his vitality and transformed the buoyant commander of World War II into a tired old man. But as the President of the U.S. plunged eagerly into a hectic round of private talks and public appearances, fear gave way to reassurance. "Ike's smile," reported Paris' Journal du Dimanche, "has again played its magic role...
Died. Caswell (Cas) Adams, 51, witty, gently satiric sportswriter (New York Herald Tribune and Journal-American, King Features); following a cerebral stroke suffered Feb. 10; in Manhasset, N.Y. Generally credited with coining the name "Ivy League," Adams co-authored (with H. T.

...merge-and soon won fame as the busiest newspaper hyphenator in upstate New York. From Rochester, where he merged the Union & Advertiser with the Times, he went on to combine Utica's Herald-Dispatch and Observer, Elmira's Telegram and Advertiser, Ithaca's News and Journal. He fought Hearst in Rochester (where W.R.H. spent $8,000,000 in a hopeless stab at putting F.E.G. out of business), and was himself driven to the ropes in Brooklyn, where he bought the old Eagle in 1929 and shucked it at a loss of $2,000,000 three years later...
