Despite the medics' enthusiasm, Ike himself has some complaints. Before meals he gulps a spoonful of mild bulk producer to fill up his stomach and cut down on his appetite. Always a heavy eater, he still loves good plain food, has a few exotic tastes, e.g., chili con carne and Chinese dishes. Occasionally, when he indulges these tastes in a hurry and under pressure, he ends up with an upset stomach. At the G.O.P. Convention in Chicago in 1952, he bolted a big Chinese meal, and sent the jitters through his closest supporters when...
Inside Fight. Vice Premier Saragat, leader of the Social Democrats, was less mild. "This is not a government crisis," he snapped. "This is a Christian Democratic crisis. Moreover, this Christian Democratic crisis is due to purely personal and not to political reasons." The Liberals' Party Secretary Giovanni Malagodi scornfully attacked Pella's "strange argument" that "a one-party government would get its votes from the right for so-called national measures, while it would receive votes from the left for social measures.

Sitting as a one-man Senate subcommittee on juvenile delinquency, Prober Kefauver was looking for answers to a valid question: Do sex and violence in Hollywood's product give U.S. kids bad ideas? He also wanted to know more about dirty movies, commonly shot in hotel rooms on a G-string budget. The linking of the two probes was more than Hollywood...
...people. But his view that art should follow only a middle road-a three-lane, 40-miles-an-hour parkway between photographic realism and emotional expressionism-is too pat to be persuasive. It would sacrifice the adventurousness that often lies at the heart of art for the sake of mild, easy-to-take conformity. Hartford's oldfashioned black powder, however, did contain enough grains of justification and documentation to rattle those ivory towers from which weird obscurities are foisted on the public. And his call for greater public participation in art matters was worth a hearty cheer...
