...wispiness of the indictment, it is difficult to boil with indignation. Any Administration with memories of Fuchs, the Rosenbergs, and such, is likely to be cautious in the extreme.

Against the background of the Fort Monmouth fiasco, the demoralization of the Voice of America, Stassen's defeat in the Greek Ship squabble, the humiliation of the Pentagon, and the disruption of the State Department, the Oppenheimer episode seems part and parcel of the process by which the government, through one branch or another, has stultified...

Then Senator Othon Mader rose to call attention to four U.S. housewives touring the coffee country as guests of the Brazilian government. "These donas de casa," said he.
