...Cabinet and top-level strategy meetings. Moreover, by delegating details, the President heads a well-oiled, relatively trouble-free Administration where the ripe feuds and conflicting policies of Truman-Roosevelt days are unheard of. White House staffers acknowledge that Ike has recently taken to his golf game with unprecedented passion. But staffers, caught under a snow of presidential memos, queries, conferences, phone calls and state visitors, quietly hope that Ike will find more time for golf, less for work...
...hamlet named Jacksonburg ("there must," he cracked, "have been Democrats in the vicinity"). He lived up to his Algeresque origins by delivering newspapers, quit school at 16 to become a teacher, soon took a job as cub-of-all-work on the old Middletown Signal.

...next step is approval in that graveyard of European aspirations, the French National Assembly. Last week, as the French Assembly moved into the final stages of debate on the two treaties, attendance was scant-at one point only 18 Deputies were in the chamber-and the sole outburst of passion occurred in the parliamentary bar, where insulted Communists felled an aggressive right-wing Deputy with a broken beer bottle. Cynics blamed the apathy on the heat which blanketed Paris as well as Bonn, but a more accurate explanation was that everyone knew that the treaties would pass with a comfortable...
