...case? (Willard Uphaus, who spoke in the fall of 1959, meets those specifications.) Or does the trouble come not from the case's pending nature itself, but from the possibility that Seeger will finally lose? If Seeger's appeal fails, will he remain taboo after his sentence is served? (Alger Hiss spoke at Princeton under those conditions.) The only circumstances under which court action could be relevant to a matter such as this would be if the individual concerned were in jail, and thus unable to appear...
Nations, too, seek models of competitive success. And in the post-war world the two most influential models are those of the two super powers whose histories read like Horatio Alger stories--the U.S. and U.S.S.R. Hence there is a tendency among lesser nations toward emulation of the two Cold War antagonists. This tendency should not be confused with the passing infatuation which the ex-colonial states have been showing for the trappings of nation-hood.

He edited a volume of Acheson's public papers, once noted that the former Secretary of State was right not to turn his back on Alger Hiss, adding that "Hiss could have been a little more grateful." For that kind of comment, Bundy had a run-in or two with the late Senator Joe McCarthy, who tried to get William Bundy fired from a CIA job. Another old foe is Massachusetts' ex-Governor Foster Furcolo...
