...little interest in the running of Government. In cold fact, the President is at his desk daily at 7:45 a.m. for the morning's round of appointments, spends most of his afternoons doing the essential staff work that the presidency requires, consistently shows his grasp of key principles and detail at Cabinet and top-level strategy meetings. Moreover, by delegating details, the President heads a well-oiled, relatively trouble-free Administration where the ripe feuds and conflicting policies of Truman-Roosevelt days are unheard of. White House staffers acknowledge that Ike has recently taken to his golf game...
...real pasting. The Senate had agreed to a three-year foreign-aid economic-development program, had authorized $2 billion to finance it. The rebellious House, unimpressed by a special presidential plea (snapped Iowa Republican H. R.

Hopefully for the Aramburu program, these voters have been drifting over to Frondizi in smaller numbers than he expected.

...producing 1,200 bbl. a day for the government-run oil company Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos). Capping a series of earlier achievements, the new field signified that Pemex, after the years of fumbling that followed its formation in 1938 from expropriated U.S. and British oil companies, had finally found the key to success. Oil Forum, a journal for U.S. oilmen, called Pemex' "remarkable achievement" a "record that cannot be approached by any other nationalized oil industry in the world...
...Dark, 34, is hitting a solid .295, holds the infield together with his big glove and his spark-plugging chatter. Even Walker Cooper, the Cards' great catcher of the '40s, is creaking his 42-year-old bones off the bench to pinch-hit home an occasional key...
