...President without fear of political punishment or reprisal, and 2) there is no political advantage in standing up for him. Congressional leaders declare privately that Ike has neither time nor stamina for heavy campaigning this year. Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Richard M. Simpson complains that he has not seen the President to discuss campaign plans since Ike's stroke. In Chicago last week, the President closeted himself in a stockyards suite before his speech, accepted a short courtesy call from Governor William Stratton, but was unavailable to 50 Illinois candidates who hoped to gain an endorsement or at least...
...rigidly prescribed: each had one foot on the bridge and one foot on Turkish soil, one hand behind his back and one on a rifle topped by a flat-bladed, freshly honed bayonet. Motionless, they stared across the brook into thick underbrush where no human figure was to be seen.

Either he can slam a hot one down the sideline or he can go for a cross-court drive. Now I always cover that sideline...
...celluloid rubble of Novelist Hayes's Hollywood ("to see or be seen ... to eat or be eaten") seems unreal. And his people, though carefully and competently labeled, are also carefully unexplored, as if he were afraid that the characters, if given life, would twist out of control. But Hayes is tellingly accurate about the emotions of bored bed partners who do not even 'like each other, and sometimes eloquent about the vacant longings of pretty, light-dazzled girls: "If they expected her to resist, or any of the girls like her, then it would have been wiser...
