Breakthrough's Edge. In the wake of the President's statement, some critics, e.g., New York Herald Tribune Columnist Stewart Alsop, assumed that the "hard line" staffers who doubt the value of Russian promises on disarmament had won some sort of "battle for the President's mind." The Alsop story was that Strauss brought Scientists Teller, Lawrence and Mills to see the President to clinch the arguments for keeping the tests. Actually the scientists came to see Ike in his capacity of chief of state. And they came under the auspices not only...
Last December, after ten years of co-autrforing their four-day-a-week column for the New York Herald Tribune Syndicate, Joseph and Stewart Alsop decided to try a "new and frankly experimental" division of effort. While Family Man Stewart, 43, stayed home in Washington to file two columns a week from Capitol Hill, Bachelor Joe, 46, decided to give readers first-hand coverage of events in Europe and the Middle East. Last week, after six months of steady travel in which he broke the news (after an interview with Khrushchev) of the Soviet Union's sweeping industrial reorganization...
...managing editor Turner Catledge. At least twice since the war, Hearst newsmen have headlined Moscow interviews, one of them far more tightly tailored to Kremlin preconditions, and the other deemed worthy of a Pulitzer Prize to William Randolph Hearst Jr. and Hearstmen Frank Conniff and Kingsbury Smith.

It seems to me very farfetched...
Last week Dave Lawrence was more at odds than ever with his fellow pundits over the budget. The New York Herald Tribune's Ike-minded Roscoe Drummond said that the President "is fighting the wrong battle on the wrong ground with the wrong weapons." Stewart Alsop, also of Lawrence's home paper, the Trib, said: "The betting is still that Congress will do to the popular Eisenhower what it never dared to do to the unpopular Truman-hack away at his whole foreign policy program with a meat ax all along the line." Fair-Dealing Doris Fleeson even...
Though The Short Reign of Pippin IV (a May co-selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club) is a fable that makes no claims for itself beyond the desire to please, its author waters Aesop with Alsop, mixes persiflage with prescriptions for the ills of modern France. The satiric lapses into the pontifical ("The French are a moral people-judged, that is, by American country-club standards"). Pippin makes a charming king-for-a-day, but the joke goes on for so long that those who come to laugh may stay to yawn. Hélas, political reality...
