Favorites: Mrs. Eisenhower's star 'per¬ former/ above, is one she never misses. Below, she greets another. Red Skelton. There is one kind of TV program which Mamie never misses. That is the President himself taking to the airwaves in one of his talks to the people or in a special report, such as the historic televised Cabinet meeting and his recent press conference. Mamie usually watches such ap¬ pearances from her sitting room. The evidence is that, like the average wife, she is her husband’s severest critic. Of course, TV is not the Eisenhow¬ ers’ only “at home” relaxation. They see movies in the White House pro¬ jection room. The President likes musicals—the most frequent fare. He is a fine bridge player, a renowned golfer and a capable amateur painter. And, of course, he reads Westerns. Both like listening to homely music. But, from the evidence, it would seem that if the President of the United States and his lady had to choose a single source of entertain¬ ment, the choice might very well be television .—Herman Lowe 6
