Vacation-rested Dwight Eisenhower eased back into his White House routine last week only to find that the status of his health was still a lively topic of discussion. One of the first press-conference questions: Had cumulative illnesses forced him to reduce his work load by 25% (TIME, March 3)? Ike smiled at the question: "Well, I wish it were reduced, but-no, I don't think it has at all, and I never -this is the first time I even heard such a suggestion." Asked also: When would he undergo a second and final post-stroke neurological...

Actually, the Digest cracked its boudoir boycott spectacularly in July 1956 with an article called "What Wives Don't Know About Sex." A flood of letters from readers suggested that do-it-yourself sex could be as gripping a topic for Digestion as the magazine's Pollyanna sagas of man against wilderness or science against cancer-the kind of uplift dear to Digest Editor (and Founder) DeWitt Wallace, son of a Presbyterian preacher. After a clinical follow-up piece on "What Husbands Don't Know About Sex," the magazine last June invited its readers to join Gynecologist...

From Caracas, the Houston Post's Reporter Jack Donahue last week sent his paper a penetrating series on a topic close to Texans: the precarious future of U.S. oil companies in post-revolutionary Venezuela. Hitting an even more sensitive nerve, the Post ran a Page One series by Staffer Leon Hale on Texas A. & M.'s deep-rooted schism over basic educational policies. Other staff-written stories in the bright, boldly laid-out Post last week ranged from Business Editor Sam Weiner's rundown on the recession's impact to Austin Correspondent Felton West...

...word jockey's favorite topic: women. Baiting them-as shrewish, lazy, selfish-is his technique for keeping them tuned in and writing 1,500 letters a week. An expert on the subject after five marriages, Gibson says: "Women are really happiest when they are being abused. It's impossible to keep a woman comfortable and happy at the same time. I've lost more wives that way. I throw the verbal stones and the women lick their wounds and lie back in ecstasy." Sample stone: "Nothing makes a woman look more like a bag than wearing...

Armstrong Circle Theater: This CBS regular has grappled with a series of difficult subjects, e.g., the Dead Sea Scrolls, and produced a series of earnest failures. Last week Armstrong deftly dodged the main issue of a most unlikely topic and pulled off one of the best shows of its season. The subject: The New Class, the anti-Communist political tract by Recanting Red Milovan Djilas, the Yugoslav long beleaguered and now in prison for turning on the party and Dictator Tito. Armstrong's program-saving trick was to ignore the dialectic of the book, concentrate instead on the spectacle...
