Flying home from conferences with the British and French in London (see FOREIGN NEWS), Dulles radiotelephoned to the White House a request to report to the nation on the crisis. Seven hours after touchdown, he sat before the TV cameras in the President's office, listened attentively while the President introduced him. Said Dwight Eisenhower: "All of us ... were vastly disturbed when Colonel Nasser a few days ago declared that Egypt intended to nationalize the Suez Canal Company...
...Bryan ("He was one of my heroes") stampeded his second convention with his silver-tongued, silver-oriented (16 oz. of silver to 1 oz. of gold) oratory. In 1924, then a member of the Jackson County Court under the auspices of hard-knuckled Democrat Boss Tom Pendergast, Politician Truman sat with ears growing numb under his crystal-set earphones. He listened to almost every word of the 14-day, 103 -ballot convention in Madison Square Garden (Alabama-"24 votes for Oscahhh W. Undahhhwood") that finally nominated John W.

He was all Arab. When an Arab marries, he doesn't want a wife or a companion; he just wants a slave. They treat their women like dirt-worse than dirt. They slug them and spit in their faces and then go off and leave them...
...Jaye P. Morgan (Wed. and Fri. 7:30 p.m., E.D.T.), a pretty blonde aided by a quartet of brothers, is easy to look at, but her singing and performing are harder to take. CBS's Vic Damone Show (Mon. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T.) and Russ Morgan Show (Sat. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T.) and NBC's Snooky Lanson (Tues. and Thurs. 7:30 p.m., E.D.T.) are purely routine musical variety shows, but Russ Morgan has the edge because of his vocalist, Helen O'Connell, a throaty chanteuse who knows how to take over a song and make...
