...Europe was an occasion of deep sentiment, and more than once, newsmen thought they saw the trace of tears in his eyes. But the meaning of Ike's trip went far beyond his personal feeling for Europe, or its feeling for him. In the very shouts and cheers lay a basic acceptance of the President's ability to deal with Nikita Khrushchev during their coming exchange of visits. That acceptance came from the realization of Dwight Eisenhower's achievements and stature as President...
...thousands of flag-waving schoolchildren shouted dozens of greetings, all meaning "I Like Ike." Eastward through the summer-evening haze, the President could make out the Hotel Petersberg, opposite Bad Godesberg where Neville Chamberlain stayed while conferring with Hitler on the road to Munich, 21 years before; northward lay the black cathedral spires of the city of Cologne that the U.S. First Army had smashed into smithereens 14 years before. Placards said: THE CITY OF PORZ GREETS EISENHOWER -TROISDORF WELCOMES YOU-GERMANY TRUSTS EISENHOWER. Mixed among them were placards pleading for help in regaining Germany's lost Oder-Neisse...
...when the Republican Eisenhower Administration took over after 20 years of Democratic rule, Democrats held 80% of all federal judgeships. That figure has since been whittled down to about 50%, and the Democratic Senate, fearing more attrition, has pigeonholed many Eisenhower judicial nominations (25 lay unconfirmed last week), and has refused for three years to act on an urgent Administration bill to create 45 new judges' jobs in areas where docket backlogs delay decisions by as much as 3½ years...

Ike agreed with the State Department that the span between Oct. 12, when the Geneva conference starts up again, and Oct. 31, when the U.S. test-suspension period was supposed to end, would not give the conference enough time to make any progress no matter what...
Spreading a blanket in the alfalfa, Lamore lay on his back, braced his boots in stirrups on the shaft, pulled back the string with both hands and sent a 25-in. fir-and-pine arrow whiffling into the sun. When bug-eyed officials at the 75th annual tournament of the National Archery Association finally found Lamore's arrow 937.13 yds. away, they discovered that he had broken the old N.A.A. record for distance flight by nearly 50 yds. But Lamore, one of 1,000,000 toxophilites in the booming sport of archery, was just warming up. Half an hour...
