...Port Said tenement in which Egyptian "resistance" men scored a triumph of sorts over a 20-year-old British officer after the 1956 Suez ceasefire. Lieut. Anthony Moorhouse of the West Yorkshire Regiment, dragged away from his Land Rover, was kept tied up in the tenement for three days, then left in a steel locker to suffocate to death while Anglo-French search parties were combing the neighborhood.

...cameramen, eagerly vying for the same story, several times turned the tour into a journalistic wreck (TIME, Oct. 5). Jim Hagerty was determined that there would be no such sideshow on Ike's trip. By the time he shepherded the traveling press corps and their gear aboard three buses outside the White House gate last week, Hagerty had laid out a set of battle orders that would have won any good general's enthusiastic acclaim...
