" NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 1961 -- Bystanders greet former President Eisenhower as he enters the New York Coliseum last night to attend dinner-rally for Republicans seeking election to municipal offices in the city. Behind Eisenhower is New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. To Eisenhower's right are Louis Lefkowitz, with glasses, candidate for mayor, and actor Robert Montgomery."
Outstaging all the big/powerful gents in the photo, are the two ladies with their remarkable hats, big puffs of fur with God knows what sticking out. I think the lady on the left is about to lose hers, poor thing ready to make a dash to safety.
A closer shot of the gentlemen. Rockefeller seems to be enjoying himself, chatting with the tall youngish man to his right. I'm guessing it is one of his sons, seems like they were all tallish.
Looks like Bob is elbowing the mayoral candidate to get next to Eisenhower, or perhaps the secret service agent. Bob continued to assist Eisenhower after Ike left office. I'm sure he enjoyed rubbing elbows with biggies in his political circle.
