...possible for Ike to keep his congressional fences in good or der. This year, with Halleck, and with Illinois' Everett Dirksen replacing Knowland in the Senate, the Republicans in the White House and on Capitol Hill work as an effective team. The weekly legislative conference has passed from pain to pleasure. "These sessions are getting to be so much fun." Ike said recently, "that they're running overtime."

Said Robinson: "I will also be directly concerned with the job of creation, a thing I was getting away from at CBS."

...more sweat. If the damn thing is malignant, cancerous, then there's real trouble . . . Never felt better in my life.
