Monday. President Eisenhower ate a good breakfast, his first full meal since the heart attack. His fever subsided to normal. The oxygen tent was removed for brief intervals during the day, and Dr. Paul Dudley White, the famous heart and interview specialist (see below) returned to Boston...
Unhappily, this still left a large number of students whose meal hours had not coincided with the representatives, or whose envelopes had not yet come to the top of the pile in the H.A.A. The six of this group of dissatisfied students was clearly evident from the length of the line that remained outside the H.A.A. from 9:00 Saturday until 12:15.

...quite an ordeal. "I used to eat six eggs and half a loaf of bread for breakfast," he wistfully recalled last week. "Sometimes a can of corned beef. But my big meal was dinner." And at parties and luaus, he really let go, consuming three bowls of two-finger poi and "everything else on the table": kalua pig, pork laulau (pork and salmon wrapped in taro leaves), pulehu aku (dried fish), lomi (salmon, raw, with tomatoes and chopped onion), chicken luau, dried squid, raw fish and limu (chopped seaweed), baked breadfruit and baked taro, haupia (coconut pudding), all washed down...
