And Dwight Eisenhower used to be in such a hurry to get from Washington to his Gettysburg farm that reporters insisted they sometimes hit 100 m.p.h. on narrow Maryland highways trying to keep up. In 1957, vigilant state cops ordered part of the presidential motorcade to pull over, told trailing reporters they would have to obey the 55-m.p.h. limit, but allowed Ike's car to whip along up to 70 m.p.h...

...program through Congress. But to do so he would have to stop conceding every point before the contest even begins. A few judicious pats on the right Congressional elbows, combined with some enthusiastic public statements about the need for foreign aid, could make the difference. If Kennedy with his narrow 1960 victory fresh in Congressional minds could do it in 1961, Johnson with his 70 per cent Gallup ratings can certainly do it in 1964. It is only a question of will...
