Our purpose is peace with freedom and justice. Our method . . . is to build those situations of strength which are essential to the achievement of our purpose. This is based on our conviction that the desire for peace is not enough; the free world must also have the strength...
...William Randolph Hearst's trained seals, none were quicker on their flippers than the correspondents in his Washington bureau. When The Chief snapped, they did verbal, handstands for MacArthur, steadily honked that Dean Acheson was being fired any minute, tugged in pet Congressmen to sound off on any Hearstian cause...
