Through the week the President continued to make steady progress. For the first time since his heart attack he shaved himself. For the first time he sat up in bed without assistance. One day he stood up and took several wobbly steps-a short trip from his bed to an easy chair. Later there were more and longer trips, and by week's end Ike was strolling around his room almost normally. His appetite continued to be hearty, and because of his increased activity the doctors raised his daily caloric intake from 1,600 to 1,800 calories...

Publishing has become a function of the business community where it was an arm of the church. Despite this evolution, its original seriousness of purpose reappears in modern guise. Book publishing began in Boston as an expression of this curiosity, but spiraling production costs have since forced the editor to tailor his product to financial considerations.
