Ruiz Cortines was no crony. His relationship with the President was a formal one based on mutual respect; they never used the intimate Spanish tu with each other. He was one Cabinet member who had stayed out of the big deals, had no bad name with the public and no private enemies. But in years of loyal service, Ruiz Cortines had never given Alemán trouble, and there was no reason to believe he would. On his record, Ruiz Cortines was honest enough to satisfy public opinion, and "safe" enough to satisfy the men around Alem...
With Pietro Nenni, clever leader of the fellow-traveling Socialists (75 seats), De Gasperi had his longest talk. The two spoke with the intimate second-person "tu" a reminder of the days they spent together as wartime anti-Fascist refugees in the Vatican.

...eyes wandered to the wall, where John Updike's picture had already been hung between Benchley and Gluyas Williams. Some of his stuff fell flat this issue, he thought. You really can't blame the Chief--he's so overworked. But the Chinese birthday party cartoon ("Happy Birthday, Tu Yu") was great. The lead poem on Spring was smooth and sensitive. And the Schism in the Church story--about the Pennsylvania Germans (Blot's eyes filled with tears as he thought of how well the Chief knew and loved them.) The way he wriggles the poor minister...
