Whooping it up through most of the night on a train westbound from Chicago, Ike's grandson, David Eisenhower, n, and ten other lads played cards (David insisted that it was poker), resolutely fought off sleep. Arriving in Denver in the charge of a Secret Serviceman, David shouldered his heavy duffel bag, visited his ailing great-grandmother Elivera Doud, then rejoined his pals for a ride to Skyline Ranch, a boys' camp where he will rough it for five weeks...
...Lesson of Little Rock. Why were they doing it? "I reckon Little Rock learned us a lesson," snarled one Teddy boy. Ranted a black-bearded ex-serviceman: "I'm a nigger hater all right.

In its respect for local law the U.S. underscores its faith in law itself, and thus by example challenges local law to be its responsible best. At its responsible best, a free...
Design for the Future. The future promises an ever-increasing stream of bigger, brainier gadgets-all of which will present a tougher repair problem for the U.S. serviceman unless they are designed to be fixed easily. The progress is slow, but there are clear signs of advance. Westinghouse's new washer-dryers have a hinged panel on the front so the repairman can get at the motor in a jiffy; before, it took two men just to pull the appliance away from the wall. Motorola, G.E., Admiral, RCA, Zenith are redesigning their radios and TV sets, using more transistors...
