As she zigzagged into Algerian waters last week a French destroyer escort hove in sight, ordered her to heave to. Said the French commander, peeping under the hatches: "A floating arsenal."

There he stood in the rear waving, first with his left hand, then right, then both, to the heavy crowds who lined the streets and packed Union Square in front of the downtown St. Francis Hotel. His Secret Service escort moved narrow-eyed and tense through the surging, shouting lobby throng, but the President was clearly delighted as he and Mamie Eisenhower made their way to the elevator for the ride to their two-bedroom suite on the sixth floor. There President Eisenhower received brief courtesy calls from California Republican leaders...
