...Thoreau-going fashion he goes very nearly to population's brink. He and his wife Janet pack a single bag, fly to Watertown, N.Y., board a twin-engined amphibious plane near Lake Ontario, and fly out to their own private Duck Island (3 sq. mi.) and their primitive three-room log cabin-bare of telephone, electricity, running water and plumbing. Foster Dulles cherishes his island privacy, but on the urging of the New York Herald Tribune's Washington Bureau Chief Robert John Donovan, he agreed to take along a reporter on his last trip. The reporter: wife Janet...
Builders' Pay. At Adullam, not far from where David battled Goliath, busloads of Hungarians and Iranians arrived last week. Israeli soldier girls, led by Lieut. Yael Dayan, daughter of the former chief of Israel's armed forces, helped them move their belongings into the neat, three-room concrete cottages on the spring-green Judean slopes. There was still the familiar hard readjustment: "I lived in a third-floor apartment-and now look," exclaimed a clerk from Budapest, thrusting out hands blistered by operating a pneumatic drill with a road-building crew.

Most recently, in his crusade for decent housing, 33-year...
Eight hours after the operation, still groggy from the anesthesia, Mamie had a visitor. Carrying a bouquet of "Mamie Pink" carnations, President Eisenhower paid a half-hour visit to the same three-room VIP suite where he convalesced last year from his operation for ileitis. He spent most of the time talking to the doctors, reported later at his press conference that Mrs. Eisenhower "medically [was] doing splendidly." (There was no sign of malignancy.) But, he added with a grin, "this does not mean . . . that her disposition is necessarily so good...
