...later Ike took the train to New York for short motorcades through Manhattan and a triumphant evening appearance (20,000 inside, 10,000 outside) in Madison Square Garden, two days after Adlai Stevenson. Neat in blue worsted suit, Ike marched into the Garden to an ear-shattering welcome touched off less by the mawkish maneuvers of such professional crowd churners as Walter Winchell and Fred Waring than by the President's own grin and greeting. Ike plugged heartily for Republican Senatorial Candidates Jacob Javits of New York and Prescott Bush of Connecticut, then proudly reviewed G.O.P. accomplishmients during...
...widespread realization that Richard Milhous Nixon is a prime national asset to the Republican Party, not only because of his political skill but also because of his genuine appeal to the U.S. electorate.

On his third and final swing, he rolled through Michigan on a special train drawing bigger crowds than Adlai Stevenson had drawn along the same route a week earlier. They were warm crowds; newsmen could find no trace of "that anti-Nixon feeling." There were 2,200 at the railroad station in Lansing, 5,000 at Battle Creek, 2,500 at Kalamazoo (about twice the crowd Stevenson drew) and 2,000 at Niles. Across Lake Michigan, in Chicago's Loop...
...into Stalin's Hungarian propaganda section, edited Uj Hang (New Voice) in Moscow, and broad cast from Budapest-beamed Radio Kossuth (named after National Hero Louis Kossuth, who led Hungary's 1848 struggle for independence which a Russian army helped crush). Returned to Hungary in the baggage train of the onsweeping Red army in 1944, along with Gero, Rakosi and other Moscow-trained Communists, to take over liberated Hungary...
