Apparently Khrushchev & Co. hoped to get some windfall out of parading Burgess and Maclean at this moment, hoping either to smooth the way for Khrushchev's forthcoming trip to London, or to muddy up the recent Anglo-American accord. Foreign Office officials have suspected Maclean's hand in the skillful phrasing of Bulganin's two recent "peace" notes to President Eisenhower. But the circumstances of the hotel interview indicated that, though they might be useful in phrasing messages, the Russians regard the two ex-diplomats as no more than propaganda puppets...
Looking over the old management's calculations, Rutherfurd and his finance committee agreed that some of the railroad's cash reserves were too low, accord ingly replenished them out of current income. About $2,200,000, for example, went to fill up the reserve for liability claims. By the time Rutherfurd and his men had finished editing the McGinnis management's books, they had a total charge against income of $4,395,000. To this they added a $634,000 operating loss for the month of December, caused largely by rough weather and aging equipment, then subtracted...
...Soviet proposal was a spectacular playon the eve of Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden's trip to Washington-for a deal between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., a nightmare prospect for the U.S.'s allies in both Europe and Asia.

...noon some anti-religious quotations from Marx, Lenin and Stalin." "What was I thinking about yesterday when I talked to so-and-so?'' Gruenther's insatiable demands for information keep his staff in a state of palm-sweating nerves all day long. But they accord him a rare loyalty and devotion, tending him like some dangerous but tremendously precious machine which must be kept running at all costs...
...permanent success. There are 3,000 languages in current use, he points out, and it is ridiculous to assume that any one tongue, necessarily based on one culture, can be imposed on the world. Only in a one-culture world will any language become supra-national of its own accord, and such a situation does not exist today. The Soviet Union is currently waging a successful campaign to teach Russian to every one in the USSR--there are about 100 different languages spoken--but it is accomplishing this only through force...
