...Herman Talmadge has cast a covetous eye on the U.S. Senate seat that Walter George has occupied with distinction for 33 years. But 77-year-old Senator George likes it where he is. As a result, Talmadge, frustrated, has been bouncing around Georgia, squirting furtive jets of venom in Walter George's direction, but not quite daring an open, all-out attack...
...stock of the national situation must first of all write down 1955 as the year when the Eisenhower administration found itself, and the American political process got back on the rails. It was like discovering a new country, to return to America after an absence of six months.

Personal Label. They had reason to expect fireworks.

Harold Ickes was primarily interested in great events in so far as they soothed or ruffled Harold Ickes. Nevertheless, The Lowering Clouds (Simon & Schuster; $6), third published volume of Ickes' sometimes fascinating diary, does make a contribution to historical accuracy: it should go far to correct the deep public impression that Harold Ickes was a lovable and forth right "old curmudgeon...
