Bloody Recollection. Ike's cautious opening of the door to a Zhukov-Wilson conference-he shied away from any hint of personal involvement-blossomed into international headlines, provoked widespread, mixed reaction. Montana's Mike Mansfield, Democratic whip in the Senate, urged Ike to go farther, meet Zhukov face to face; such a meeting would "weigh heavily in the President's fav.or. I'm certain that the President would not be taken in." Western diplomats leaked worries that Ike's friendly remarks about Zhukov, suppressor of the bloody Hungarian revolt, might kill a U.S.-sponsored United...
...larger questions of war and peace, Congressmen still seem to hold Dwight Eisenhower, and his foreign-policy successes, in awe. But where they were cautious about opposing him during the first Administration, they now feel cocky in the belief that his preoccupation with international affairs and deep respect for Congress' independent role leave them free to cut Administration domestic programs as they see fit.

In defense of the free-enterprising society that gave him his chance, he loudly fought all attempts to restrict its liberties. He staunchly resisted the U.S. Government, unions, even his fellow steelmasters. Praised and berated by liberals and conservatives alike, Ernest Weir was a non-organization man, a symbol of rugged individualism...
...taught Greek, Latin, French, German and English-but not a word of Russian. It was for a time the only university to offer sociology, the only place to teach economics that was not, as one professor puts it, "all class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat." Though cautious, many professors found ways to get around the Communists...
