...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 with unprecedented passion. But staffers, caught under...

Great Britain's current investment program for the nationalized railway and fuel industries alone totals $1.5 billion, v. $2.4 billion for the entire privately owned manufacturing industry...
...belief that any trouble in the Communist Party was good for the world. But was this trouble or a strengthening of the party? If Khrushchev's bull voice had been muted before, it would soon be in full throat, making his demands known around the world. A top-level U.S. expert says: "Khrushchev has won, but the results will be catastrophic for him. He is now almost alone. Mikoyan will always leap to the winning side, and cannot be depended upon. The only first-rate man left on Khrushchev's side is Zhukov." Many felt that there...
