Sudden Flood. What had brought the tide of praise for President Eisenhower to sudden flood was apparently enthusiasm for his bold effort to sweep aside the cold war's barriers by trading visits with Soviet Premier Khrushchev. The chatter about the New Eisenhower came during an Ike week that was dramatic in several other ways. The President was in his usual top form at his press conference, held in a converted Gettysburg gymnasium. On Capitol Hill, an attempt to override an Eisenhower veto of an inflated housing bill failed miserably and all but nailed down a victory...

...this, if not that you are my chief enemies, and even the enemies of virtue?" Thus in 1474 did 21-year-old Girolamo Savonarola console his parents, whom he had left without warning and without a word of goodbye, to become a Dominican novice. With the courage and cold zeal of a saintly fanatic, Savonarola continued to rage against virtue's enemies until 1498, when the exasperated city fathers of Florence, urged on by Pope Alexander VI, hanged and burned him in the Piazza della Signoria...
