...troops marched smartly down Washington's Constitution Avenue, the jets streaked overhead, and on the reviewing stand Secretary of Defense Charles Erwin Wilson held himself bulkily erect. Unknown to Wilson, the telephone even then was buzzing in his Sheraton-Park apartment 700G. Capital newsmen wanted to speak to him. The review over, the pleased and proud Defense Secretary drove to the plane that would take him to Virginia's Hot Springs for the weekend. But at the National Airport newsmen swarmed over him with stinging questions. Wilson turned to an aide, said reproachfully: "I thought you told...
...Omaha's red brick Fontenelle Hotel last week, the nation's No. 2 hotel chain concluded the second biggest deal in U.S. hotel history. Using a dime-store pen, Sheraton Corp.'s President Ernest Henderson and Vice President Robert L. Moore signed an agreement to buy the 22-hotel Eppley chain, largest and oldest personally owned hotel group in the U.S. Its 22 properties in six states range from Pittsburgh's 1,500-room William Penn to the 123-room Tallcorn in Marshalltown, Iowa.

Then, as the last event on the two-day agenda, they heard the President of the U.S. open his campaign for re-election...
...Sheraton Astor Hotel on Times Square more than 2,000 Democrats sat down to filet mignon at the New York State Committee's annual $100-a-plate fund-raising dinner. As between party members, it was all quite impartial. The leading candidate for President, Adlai Stevenson, campaigning in California, could not attend, but he telegraphed "love and affection." Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver, the only other announced candidate, was there on the dais (ready to hop off for California), but his presence did not mean that this was his crowd. That peripatetic "inactive" candidate, New York...
