...Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg. Its operations were described by Secretary of State Dean Rusk before a Congressional committee not very long ago: he said the "Sino-Soviet bloc is not satisfied with a mere triumph of ideological principles but demands direct subservience to the policies of the block as conceived (sic) in Moscow."

The only bright spot was a remarkably professional daily paper that the unions put out on a collection of antiquated presses; it reached a circulation of 80,-000 and was actually making money.
