Comrade Maximov was a horrible example in Khrushchev's cautious but crucial struggle with the technocrat commissars, who have been demanding less interference from boards of bureaucratic directors in Moscow, more autonomy in their plants and more control over the men under them, i.e., more freedom, which in Russia can only mean less bother with the party hacks. Recently Khrushchev produced a much publicized scheme for the decentralization of Soviet industry that seemed to answer the demands of the technocrat commissars (TIME, April...
LIKELY KO, forecast a sport-page banner line in the New York World-Telegram and Sun. And indeed, in the first three rounds the outcome seemed certain. The old man had nothing left. Sugar Ray Robinson was a cautious shuffler just two days shy of 37, and he two-stepped away from Gene Fullmer, the brawling, 25-year-old Mormon elder who had taken away his middleweight championship four months ago. At ringside in Chicago, the experts exchanged knowing nods: age had soured Sugar...
Natural Gas. Still blackened and chastened by the explosion over high-pressure lobbying on the gas bill that prompted President Eisenhower to veto their bill last session, congressional Democrats are cautious.

...Lewis has been valuable chiefly through his constant attacks from the enemy position. Like the burr under the saddle, he has helped to hurry things along.

Lewis, then, with his blasts and diatribes too often ill-conceived and over-angry, at least helped prevent stagnation and kept alive an awareness of the phony and the sentimental...
Although the physicists' stand is weak, its courage may untimately produce helpful political results. Their sane concern for German citizens has furnished a cautious groundwork for the inevitable trend towards nuclear weapons in Germany and throughout NATO. Assuming that they will eventually agree to military work, the scientists should be given an opportunity to express doubt over future dangerous policies. Instead of being rushed too quickly into bomb research projects, the eighteen may now be given opportunity to continue work on hydrogen fusion at laboratory-induced temperatures--a promising German discovery in the peacetime nuclear field. Their protest has again...
