...Sputniks he sent whirling into outer space aroused the U.S. giant to its danger as nothing else could have. President Eisenhower, throwing off the effects of a slight stroke, risked health and leadership to journey to Paris and rally NATO to new heart.

A veteran of 444 quarter-hour shows and 14 full-hour revues on TV since 1951, Dinah is toiling...
