...these specific problems, which can come to final decision only on the President's desk, there are broad areas of policy and planning that call for close and carefully planned presidential leadership. In the nation's first Sputnik uneasiness, the President planned a series of five TV talks to tell the people where the U.S. stood and what it had to do. When illness hit, Ike had made only two of the speeches. The third, an appeal for support of the Administration's foreign aid program, was delivered in part by Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell, subbing...
...Percival Brundage gave cost estimates and advice, Sherman Adams offered pithy guidance, and Richard Nixon summed up the discussions. He used President Eisenhower's recent Oklahoma City speech-which laid down the rule that nonessential spending must give way to defense in Sputnik's day-as a broad outline. Did the proposed program meet the requirements of that speech? If so, it was approved. If not, more work had to be done.

Never more skillful than when she is play-acting within a play, she is particularly funny, whenever she is deceiving her spouse. As the most sophisticated of Horner's conquests, Pamela Brown performs with a consummate knowingness, an ineffable arrogance; where Julie is all gurgle and prance, Pamela is all polish and sneer. The two actresses play rings around Laurence Harvey's over-mannered and frilly Horner. Indeed, the whole production is too much in a foppish...
...scientific field. In the first place, he said, "the governing factors in deciding any field of concentration should be whether or not that field interests him." Secondly, he felt that the practice of medicine is far more than science alone, and the student should achieve as broad a liberal education as possble. Third, a student's field of concentration "has nothing to do with" his getting into medical school, provided, of course, that he satisfies the basic requirements...
