...contained behind the wall of Dulles' diplomacy. First, he describes Eisenhower as practically Hamlet-like in his reluctance to carry out his resolves. He was unwilling to indulge in political maneuver for fear the experience of "the gutter" would kill his very universality--his genius for peace. His caution and personal scrupulousness resulted in his inability to move foreign policy in the radical ways so clearly envisioned in Hughes' early speeches. The awkwardness of his diplomacy contrasted fatally with the hopefulness of his rhetoric...
...characterizes Russian foreign policy there is a "constant probing for opportunities to expand Soviet power wherever it can be done without excessive risk." The West, therefore, can count upon Soviet moderation and restraint "only to the extent that it is absolutely clear in keeping the Soviets informed about where caution must be observed." "This in turn," he said in passing, "requires Western leaders to be absolutely clear in their own minds as to the boundaries of Western interests...
Even so, steelmen moved with notable caution. After three days of silence on both sides, Lukens Steel Co., the 20th-ranking producer, upped its price on a few types of steel.

Issues ran deep, and touched off demagoguery, anxiety, and an impressive civic concern. A country whose steadiness used to be taken for granted, a nation that prided itself on its placidity and caution, Canada had in recent years become a cockpit of frustrations. Its national unity was threatened by the pull of regional economic self-interest, its politics had become fragmented and quarrelsome, its economy was in need of a lift, its painstakingly put-together French-English partnership-the cornerstone of the confederation...
...Indignant Cardinal. The ban was a case of caution carried to outrage, and it was with outrage that U.S. Catholics responded. At least 23 Catholic newspapers lamented what Wisconsin's Green Bay Register calls "one of the saddest pages in the history of intellectual Catholicism in the U.S." One editor denounced C.U.'s "authoritarianism"; another labeled the university a "citadel of mediocrity." Snapped Bishop John K. Mussio of Steubenville, Ohio: "Legitimate controversy should not be sidestepped by a center of learning. Suppressing views is no service to truth." In a stiff letter to Rector...
