...Governor Earl Warren found a new way to campaign: "He made a little history. Appearing on a CBS television program, he proved himself the best campaigner yet on the newest communications medium to reach into the U.S. home. His big, square-cut Scandinavian face was etched handsomely on the screen." Editor Henry Luce seemed rather partial to General Dwight Eisenhower, despite Ike's refusal to run; TIME called him "the people's first choice" and lauded his firm stance against the G.O.P.'s isolationist wing.

And while watching TV he is riffling through magazines, offering his own irreverent editing. "That's crazy... good pictures... hey, they got that right for a change...
...carrying tissues. When the girls teared up at the convention, they were inexperienced and empty-handed. She dispensed the Kleenex. And now and then she will fire off an e-mail to W. "Always positive, always hopeful," she says. A while back she thought he looked nervous on the screen, and not wishing to make a direct suggestion to relax, she whispered it to one of his aides. Within a few hours the phone rang. It was her son twitting her for being on his case. Leaks everywhere...
