...Dean Rusk to the new Administration's most important Cabinet post set off a puzzled reaching for reference books to find out who Dean Rusk is. To the intimate few who had seen Dean Rusk in action at the War Department or State Department during a decade of solid Government service, the news brought a fraternal glow of delight. "A terrific appointment," said one State Department official. "When I heard about it, I was really overjoyed." The late John Foster Dulles was a longtime Rusk admirer. So was Rusk's old boss at State, Secretary Dean Acheson...
...solid Republican, Dillon wrote foreign-policy speeches for Dewey in 1948, was an early bird for Ike in 1951. After the 1952 campaign, he was rewarded with the ambassadorship to Paris. No post could have made Dillon happier.

"You're my left halfback," Lombardi told Hornung. "The only way you can get out of it is to get killed...
...soloist group, for the most part, showed itself to be considerably more competent. The melodic lines were supple, the tone solid, and the phrasing refreshingly simple. But these good people were often forced to compete with the instrumentalists who were accompanying them. I was particularly impressed by Lila Woodruff's clear and completely unaffected reading of the soprano aria, Quia respexit, which she accomplished by completely ignoring a jarring accompaniment by a very poorly tuned oboe d'amore...
