...Oregon's Democratic Senator Wayne Morse showed up in the same neck of the woods-and led Dulles into one of the most unfortunate remarks of the hearings. Morse, wringing his hands lest "American boys might have to go over there alone," suggested that Britain and France join the U.S. in backing the Eisenhower Middle Eastern resolution. Dulles replied softly: "I hope, before you commit yourself to that proposition, you will give careful consideration to the reception the British and French could get in the Middle East." Then, half-joking and still referring to the low esteem in which...
...Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees to defend anew the President's request for authority to use U.S. forces and dollars to keep the Communists out of the Middle East.

One of his first acts was to toss the fake log out of the fireplace in his executive suite, replacing it with something more suitable for a timber-producing state: real logs...
...long since come to the conclusion that "architecture can be medicine, or at least part of the therapy." His answer is a long, low, $112,000 clinic building that bears no resemblance to standard medical surroundings. Patients arriving for their 50-minute hours last week were ushered through the Oregon-basalt entrance into the spacious waiting rooms, screened by a shoji. The long, sky-lit corridor (which has warm, hand-rubbed oak-flooring walls) leads to the ten consulting rooms, each soundproofed to silence, looks out through a full glass wall onto a serene, narrow garden court planted with vine...
