...Persons. The diagnosis: Eisenhower had suffered an occlusion of a small branch of the middle cerebral (brain) artery on the left side; the occlusion, or blockage, might have been caused either by a small clot or a vascular spasm (see MEDICINE). In short, though the White House would not use the word, the President had suffered a stroke...
...each conference, the involved department argued its case, Budget Director Percival Brundage gave cost estimates and advice, Sherman Adams offered pithy guidance, and Richard Nixon summed up the discussions. He used President Eisenhower's recent Oklahoma City speech-which laid down the rule that nonessential spending must give way to defense in Sputnik's day-as a broad outline.

Mayor Senaga lost no time in making the U.S. occupation authorities miserable.

A $750-a-week nightclub performer (last week, Boston) who hit the charts heavily last year with Miracle of Love, Eileen may have another hit with her current disk...

"And the first few days on the practice field in 1953 you could tell that Schmidt was a man we could use. But unlike some linebackers, he's clean at being mean." Says Schmidt simply: "I tackle low and hard. There's only one reason for a high, crashing tackle-to hurt a man. It gives me just as much satisfaction to nail a hard-running back on the line...
