...last words about Eisenhower, Hughes quotes Winston Churchill: "The only guide to a man is his conscience: the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so mocked by the failure of our hopes; but with this shield, however the Fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor." Says Hughes: "I know that President Dwight David Eisenhower always believed this. And I believe he will be so remembered...
...fireworks fizzled. After two days of committee camaraderie, Roosevelt was getting his coffee in a cup with his name on it. On the third day. Vermont's Winston Prouty, generally considered to be the Republican who was really out after Junior, got a chance to ask some questions. What did Roosevelt do with the $30.000 retainer he received when he was an attorney for Tyrant Trujillo's Dominican Republic regime seven years ago?

...resolution to grant the first honorary U.S. citizenship* to Sir Winston Churchill, 88, bogged down in Congress recently, when worrywarts feared that the honor might later be passed out like green stamps. But the states may do the job piecemeal. Nebraska's legislature made Sir Winston a state citizen last week; Tennessee is about to do so this week. The man who once described himself as a living Anglo-American alliance already has scads of transatlantic ties, from honorary citizenship in the city of Jacksonville, Fla., to life membership in the Friendship Veterans Fire Engine Co. of Alexandria...
