Aides and close friends have sensed a profound change-or perhaps a crystallization of previous changes-in President Eisenhower since the campaign began. Said one of them last week: "The President seems to have reached a new plane of serenity, almost of self-detachment." Four years in the White House have sharpened his political ear, toughened his belief in himself as a political strategist. But along with this has come a new warmth and understanding. Gone are the occasional flashes of temper that were once the terror of his staff-and of his opponents. They have been replaced...

More important are the profound effects that security-consciousness has had on the public mind. It is still too early to asses the popular conception of freedom that has emerged from the assaults of Senator McCarthy.

I never go to a movie, I have never been to the theater, I never listen to the radio. I like to be with my fellow humans, not lose myself in fantasies."
