Except for Richard Nixon's kitchen debate with Khrushchev and the tremendously moving Warsaw crowd that greeted Nixon, all of my most vivid Washington bureau memories, I realized, were associated with Eisenhower.

Three musicals remain spicy and satisfying: West Side Story, Leonard Bernstein's brassy, big-city, 20th century Romeo and Juliet; Fiorello!, the nostalgic story of New York City's Little Flower; and Bye Bye Birdie, an enjoyable spoof of the rock...
