...Diefenbaker played Truman, Liberal Party Leader Lester Pearson sounded discouragingly like Adlai Stevenson in his off moments. A onetime university professor, Canadian External Affairs Secretary, and 1957 Nobel Peace prizewinner for his work on the Korea and Suez crises at the U.N., Pearson is respected at home and abroad.

He has been representing his country in the United Nations with eminence and with extraordinary competence...
...lobbies and meeting halls of the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson often hears the argument of new nations that democracy is a luxury they cannot afford.
