...surprising reaction in Washington," wrote New York Timesman James Reston, "was that the two leaders made [the NATO meeting] sound worse than it really was." Even Columnist Doris Fleeson, whose ardent Stevensonian viewpoint would ordinarily give little reason for applauding anything done by Republican Dwight Eisenhower in Paris, noted that the Eisenhower-Dulles speeches "made the Paris results seem less effective than they actually were. For it is no mean feat to hold a defensive alliance together when an aggressor seems to be going strong. This was achieved in Paris against odds." Far from using the NATO conference...

Groping for an explanation of Jenner's decision, Republican State Chairman Robert Matthews said the Senator was "just tired of carrying on the fight for conservatism by himself." But some observers of Indiana...
...excellent one in its own way, but it is sailing under rather false colors, for it is essentially a children's record. While it would make a very good introduction to folk singing for a small child, the material is too hackneyed for his elders. Even the most ardent of Seeger's admirers will find trouble in giving undivided attention to Home on the Range and Yankee Doodle...
