Largely responsible for last week's success was Dwight Eisenhower himself. Pink-cheeked and purple-tied, Ike found his head table seat like a Rotary Club regular, ate filet mignon (rare) while 480 paying guests struggled with minute steak.

Horner of the Washington Evening Star. No sooner did the questions start than radio mikes opened, three television cameras blinked red, and a daytime audience of millions began watching the second live...

Morals-minded Castro followers joked at the memory of his roistering coverage, and one dark-eyed rebelista murmured: "We are more than happy...
...furniture by mixing with it oriental lacquered furniture-lighter woods plus new materials and vivid fabrics. The industry is also bringing out a whole new line of "wall-hung" units-bookcases, hi-fi cabinets, cupboards, etc. Even children's furniture is being upgraded after 30 years of standard pink and blue finishes.
