Next morning Ike was up early, peering from his window for glimpses of the flood damage. An Air Force steward put an enormous breakfast tray in front of him (orange juice, cantaloupe, filet mignon, mashed potatoes, Melba toast and coffee), but Ike, preoccupied with the tragedy below, merely toyed with his meal. As the Columbine cruised slowly over Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, low cloud formations closed in, and Ike got only occasional views of the flooded areas. Allentown, Pa. floated underneath, between cloud drifts, looking untouched by the flood. Over Connecticut, the clouds opened up long enough...
...point. He was going in for a thorough physical checkup, an exhaustive 1½-hour going over by doctors, with half a dozen or more lab tests to follow. At going rates for Toledo doctors' and medical labs, this would cost anywhere from $150 to $200.

Even Bernard Marmaduke Fitzalan-Howard, 16th Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England and a steward of the Jockey Club, bought a copy. (He held it as if it were a week-old fish.) Workers' Weakness. Strike or no, the race-track elite could have done worse. Alf Rubin, 38, the Worker's wide-eyed little cockney handicapper, who prints his picks under...
...gentle John and his brother 'The sons of Thunder'? Is there not a light of amusement as well as seriousness when the impetuous Simon finds himself for all the ages called 'The Rock' . . . ? Christians have puzzled for centuries over the unjust judge and the fraudulent steward, afraid to acknowledge that the divine Lord can point a serious moral with a lighthearted tale...
