...lawn chairs under the palms with the President at their center, the "Palm Tree Cabinet" debated the best ways to press for next year's stiff Fair Deal agenda. There seemed to be plenty of time for kittenish lightheartedness in the soft warmth of the Florida Keys. One day, for example, Congressional Liaison Man Joseph Feeney was roused from a nap in the sun by a dash of cold water. Above him, grinning broadly, stood the President of the U.S., holding two empty water tumblers...
Angus Ward puffed on a stubby little pipe as he told of living for a month on bread and hot water, two weeks of it in unheated solitary confinement at freezing temperatures. One afternoon, after this "hellish treatment," he was hauled before a Communist court, charged with and convicted of beating a Chinese messenger in a scuffle over pay, and ordered out of China.

When someone asked the general's lady *if she wanted to be a President's wife, she replied frankly: "What American woman wouldn't want her husband to be President?" The Savannah (Go.) Morning News went her one better, proposed a national conservative coalition ticket with Eisenhower as presidential candidate and Virginia's economy-minded Democrat, Senator Harry F. Byrd, as his running mate. Kansas' new interim Senator Harry Darby, a Republican, said that Ike was highly regarded in his home state of Kansas, but "any potential candidate might find himself in bad shape...
