* President Dwight Eisenhower has heart attack
* Ike
This 60+ page newspaper has a very nice two line banner headline on the front page: "IKE SUFFERS HEART ATTACK; RECOVERY PROSPECTS 'GOOD'" with subheads and photo. (see)
Other news of the day throughout. Light browning, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was the thirty-fourth President of the United States from 1953 until 1961 and a five-star general in the United States Army. During the Second World War, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45. In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO.[1]
As President, he oversaw the cease-fire of the Korean War, kept up the pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, made nuclear weapons a higher defense priority, launched the Space Race, enlarged the Social Security program, and began the Interstate Highway System. He was the last World War I veteran to serve as U.S. president, and the last president born in the 19th century. Eisenhower ranks highly among former U.S. presidents in terms of approval rating.
