...Line. Sherman Adams set the new tone and pace of the White House and flavored it with his own brand of Yankee circumspection ("Sound as a dollar," as his 82-year-old father says. "Square as a brick"). Hard at work by 7:30 every morning, Adams takes due note of any of his staff who might come in a few minutes late ("Miss So-and-So," he snapped to a girl who was attending a presidential staff meeting, "you were late three mornings this week!"). Papers shoot into his office and out as fast as his bedeviled secretaries...

The two set a time-the week of Aug. 4-for a Brazilian visit by Secretary of State Dulles, and agreed to the idea of a conference of the Americas' foreign ministers, possibly in Bogota, where Colombian President-elect Alberto Lleras...
...textile city of Lodz, and Rubinstein avoided Poland as well as Germany during his postwar European tours. When he finally decided he was ready to return to Poland, his concerts became immediate sellouts; 1,200 people turned up merely to hear him rehearse. Before he played a note at his final concert, the audience stood as he walked on the stage (the only other musician in modern memory similarly honored in Warsaw: Pianist Ignace Paderewski, who later became Prime Minister...
