Bolling emphasizes his position as an establishment, middle-of-the-road type in his descriptions of the Lanrum-Griffin, Civil Rights, and Rules fights. He tried to get pro-labor liberals to accept a moderate labor control bill. He implies that their failure to do so contributed to the eventual passage of the strongly anti-labor Lanrum-Griffin bill. In the civil rights fight of 1960, he again took an establishment position.

When Dienbienphu falls, she exults, although the fallen are Frenchmen. The U.S. is decadent and bent on war. Russia is interested only in world peace, and fills the sky with Sputniks in proof of its military superiority, which will keep the peace. Pope Pius XII dies, and Mile, de Beauvoir, who renounced God at 15, accepts the news "with a certain amount of pleasure...
