...dupes. "Good God," roared Kuchel while rushing to Ike's rescue, "should the American people and the American Government let that kind of spleen be poured upon one who has given his whole life to freedom?" Connecticut's burly Tom Dodd, a conservative Democrat and tough antiCommunist, joined in. Welch's judgments, said he, are "an affront to decency and intelligence...
...Patriotism. The U.S. has spent more than $300 million trying to shore up Laos and to make it a bastion of antiCommunist strength. In few areas of the world has the U.S. spent so much for so little. Laotians happily joined the army, now 28,000 strong, but it soon became clear that the attraction was not patriotism but the pay, which amounts to roughly triple the amount an average Laotian makes farming or growing opium, the country's only cash crop. Economic aid largely disappeared in graft among Vientiane's ruling politicians, mostly related to one another...
...ages since, Spartacus has been revered as the patron saint of revolutions.

He will make his second U.S. trip this week, leading...
...grave, greying man with a permanently skeptical arch to his brow, has modeled Le Monde after his own image. Like its editor, Le Monde is more conservative than Catholic, more trenchant than traditional, more republican than radical, more pro-French than anti-American, more non-Communist than antiCommunist. At a time when much of the French press ranges from sycophantic toward De Gaulle to uncritical, Le Monde has been his most respectable-and most persistent-critic. No one knows better than Beuve-Méry how difficult it is for the foreigner to classify Le Monde. "We have," he says...
