...snapped his pencil point with the news that President Eisenhower, on his first campaign swing through the country, had drawn crowds in Iowa-and particularly in Des Moines-that had never been equaled either in numbers or enthusiasm. Obviously the pundits had to find room for a special Eisenhower symbol. The 1956 election was not just an equation involving Republicans and Democrats.

King Knowde geve Wyllam Pewse Thys Horne to hold by Thy londe. And thus, in the year 1016, did Canute King of the Danes give William Pusey lands and an oxhorn as a symbol of the gift. It was a reward for Pusey's successful behind-the-lines spying against the Saxons. A few years ago, President Pusey visited the old manor which rests between Farington and Oxford...
