...opponent--reputed to be one of the most "nego" products of Exeter--has the dubious advantage of glibness. He probably gave even less though to his article than his antagonist. To him all public school boys are doomed to intense concentration in academic life, aimed solely at getting a lucrative position in their home town environment. He throws around Mom and Togetherness as if tney were synonymous with a public school background, a theory which only demonstrates his complete disassociation from the world of which he writes...

Thus the stalemate prevailed. The press, hesitant to defy its government even when generally convinced that the Government erred, was frustrated in its desire to see and report about one of the world's largest countries and its country's No. 2 antagonist in the cold war. Secretary Dulles was left in the untenable position of using the U.S. press as a weapon in his diplomatic warfare...
