Boos For Ike. The Forand bill would have the Federal Government pay medical and surgical benefits, plus up to 120 days' combined hospitalization and nursing-home care per year for all those eligible for social security old-age and survivors' checks. Covering today's 15 million eligibles it would cost, by Republican estimates, about $2 billion a year, might run up to $7.5 billion annually by 1980. It would be bankrolled by boosting the social security tax one-quarter percent for each employee and employer and three-eighths percent for each self-employed person. Last week after...
Adams could remember a happier and a more literary time, when a handful of dedicated writers and editors, among them Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman, Ring Lardner, and Harold Ross of The New Yorker practiced their art with a lapidary's care. Clinging together for mutual support, they met weekdays as the Vicious Circle, a social group that lunched at the Algonquin Hotel and traded mots and puns, Saturday nights over the poker table of the Thanatopsis Literary and Inside Straight Club.

...Hong Kong lay their problems on the workbench of this toolroom Da Vinci. Patiently, Keith answers each letter. Just as patiently, he seals a little copper box of his sister's "trinkets" in the ballasting of his brother-in-law's yacht, and agrees to take care of the couple's ten-year-old daughter Janice while the pair sails for western Canada via the South Seas...
...humor in Keith Stewart's role as a provincial Ulysses, for the West Baling mechanic has never before set eyes on a piece of foreign currency, taken a shower, or been on the water, and he packs his English woolens for the tropics. But Keith's loving care of craft and his fascination with minutiae of technique will win the reader's respect. In the end, though, it is neither tropic adventures nor miniature marvels that generate the fundamental emotion in Trustee from the Toolroom. That comes from giving a small man a big word-trust...
