...looked sunny, warm, restful. Wild roses, day lilies and hollyhocks were abloom; the corn was knee-high. Tired from the trip, Ike lay down to rest in his oak-paneled, first-floor den. In a short while the Eisenhowers and their weekend guests, Walter Reed Hospital Commander Major General Leonard Heaton (who performed the ileitis operation) and Mrs. Heaton, were all soaking up an afternoon nap. A double celebration was in order for the weekend: it was the Eisenhowers' 40th wedding anniversary, the Heatons' 30th. For at least the next two weeks, Ike would receive White House officials...
...Festival open this Thursday evening, July 5, with Shakespeare's "Henry V," staged by the Old Vic director Douglas Seale and featuring Douglas Watson, Felicia Montealegre (Mrs. Leonard Bernstein), and Ian Keith. "Henry" runs through July 21, and on July 25 "The Beggar's Opera" opens, starring Shirley Jones of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Cinemascope fame. The final production of the summer will be Shaw's "Saint Joan," starring the Irish actress Siobhan McKenna, who won great acclaim in the role in Dublin and London a few seasons ago, and who made her American debut on Broadway this past season...
Unhealthy Prognosis. In Chicago Democratic Chairman Paul Butler purpled over the unequivocal approval of a re-election campaign given by Ike's surgeon, Major General Leonard D. Heaton, a scant ten hours after the operation (TIME, June 18). Butler condemned Republicans for practicing a "new science of politico-medicine." In Chicago Dr. David Allman, who last week was chosen president-elect of the American Medical Association, burbled (without examining any of the subjects) that the President would now be "in better physical condition than any of his opponents-Republican or Democratic-have been at any time in their lives...
Surgeon General Leonard Scheele of the U.S. Public Health Service happily backed up Salk's rebuttal to his nowsilenced critics (the most vociferous were not even invited to appear on the program). Since May of last year, when Scheele imposed stricter controls to guard against faulty vaccine, "there has been no ... evidence that any lot of [commercial] vaccine has been unsafe." From the millions of shots given to date, no more than one "suspicious" polio attack has come out of each big lot - a figure, according to Scheele, "well within the limit of expected coincidence...
...Faces of '56-Producer Leonard Sillman seems to be restricting these shindigs to presidential-election years-is agreeably sassy and glossily intimate. If there is a serious weakness, it is much the weakness of New Faces of '52: the product isn't really up to the packaging. Peter Larkin, largely with airy spiral staircases and rows of slatted doors, has created gay all-purpose backgrounds, and Thomas Becher has brought to the costuming just the right lunacy or lure. The 19 new faces are often expressive as well as likable, the show moves pleasantly along, the turns...
