Whether or not Russell & Co. cause Harry Truman to take himself out, they want the South to have a powerful voice in the convention, both as to platform and nominee. What they will do if the Democrats nominate Truman or a Trumanite, and adopt another all-out civil-rights plank, is uncertain. Dick Russell wouldn't say what he will do. In 1948 he let his name go before the convention, and got 263 votes. But he refused to join the Dixiecrats' post-convention bolt. After a 1952 convention defeat, the Southern Democrats could again try a third...
...dozen of the uppermost generals and admirals of the Big Three Western powers locked themselves into a map-hung inner sanctum in the Pentagon one day last week and conferred for eight hours. Their sole topic: the increasing threat of an all-out Communist attempt to swallow up Indo-China...
...before he was fired for advocating an air-sea campaign against Red China, there is not much that China's Communist government could do to resist or retaliate against such a war.

These almost unknown men are responsible for making the weapon that holds in check all-out Communist aggression. They spend billions of public funds, tie up a good part of U.S. scientific and business brains, and operate an industrial empire that may be the pioneer of a new technological era. The AEC controls a land area half again as big as Delaware-and is growing more rapidly than any great U.S. business ever did. Its investment in plant and equipment ($2,174,000,000) makes it bigger than General Motors Corp. At the end of its present expansion program...
