...transcripts uncovered last month at the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kans., by Rice University Historian Francis Loew-enheim, Ike taped 27 conversations between 1953 and 1958. His conversational partners were legislators, journalists, aides, businessmen and heads of state, including Ethiopia's Haile Selassie and Greece's Queen Frederika. The recording machine itself, which resembled a supply cabinet, was installed by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in the nearby office of Eisenhower's personal secretary, Ann Whitman. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and some other officials knew of its existence, but most who were recorded apparently...

...contrast to his Athens stable of flashy cars, he makes do with a blue Mercedes 280 S, which he uses for commuting to town. Up the road a few hundred yards, and overlooking the royal couple's home, are the more sumptuous quarters of Queen Mother Frederika and Princess Irene: a ten-bedroom mansion provided rent-free by Greek Millionaire Felix Mechoulam. Country life for the royal family has had its drawbacks. The dearth of servants is particularly perturbing.
