Slowly, almost despite themselves, Albany reporters found themselves writing stories favorable to Tom Dewey. At his press conference Dewey always announced the big news of the day before newsmen got a chance to ask questions (Dwight Eisenhower often follows the same practice), and Hagerty handed out releases explaining the details. "If it was late and you wanted to get home for dinner," recalls an old Albany hand, "you ended up writing pretty much what Hagerty gave you to write. The stories were always accurate and reasonable, and that made it easier...
Remember the Major. Hagerty's skillful handling of the Denver crisis deepened his association with President Eisenhower. Before Denver, although holding profound respect for Hagerty's professional ability, Ike had referred to him as "my technician." After Denver the phrase was "my friend." More and more often Ike would pop his head out of his office, look around and inquire: "Where's Jim?"

Nothing can be more misleading than the unrelated fact, just because it is a fact and hence impressive." Example: during the rise of the late Joe McCarthy, the Monitor was one of the few U.S. dailies that consistently and searchingly matched...
Glenview Community Church has no simple pastor with assistants but a "team ministry" of four clergymen, all equal in authority. Their church is a believe-as-you-like, worship-as-you-please fellowship of searchers, and the ministers' language often sounds less religious than sociological. Christians should develop a "relationship with God," enabling them "to live out their potential"; an eye must be kept on "fringe individuals"; the church is "developmental-task-oriented" and its beliefs are "anchored but open-ended...
