...trusted friend, was the first man to hear about Texan Anderson's painful decision in 1952 to bolt the Democrats and vote for Eisenhower. Anderson keeps in close touch with the leaders, tells them in detail about his plans and programs. He also has a warm friendship with Speaker Rayburn's top fiscal adviser, Arkansas' Wilbur Mills, able chairman of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee.

And at week's end, the U.S. cracked down hard on the flights, while adding the friendly gesture of sending planes and ships...
...They urge steel-strike negotiators to hunker awhile, envision Eisenhower and Khrushchev hunkerin' at the summit. "This is a peaceful thing," one hunkerer says. "A respite from a world of turmoil. The main purpose of hunkerin' is to get down and hunker together. It's a friendship thing: get your friends to hunker with you. The man you don't know is the man you haven't hunkered with...
