...said that the Geneva spirit could never be genuine or permanent if any nation continued "political offensives aimed at subverting free governments." Equally sharp was his charge that the veto power had been abused in the Security Council, and his recommendation that the proposed conference to review the U.N. Charter should reconsider the veto procedure on admission of new members. His label of "evil" for the record of the Chinese Communist regime showed that the U.S. had not stepped down from its position that...
...years' standing. With Molotov protesting only mildly for the record, the Assembly voted for the sixth year (42-to-12) against considering Red China for membership. But after Molotov's standpat opening speech, only one of the three major agenda items (disarmament, atoms-for-peace, charter revision) seemed destined to benefit in a practical way from "the Geneva spirit." That was President Eisenhower's proposal, endorsed by the Russians at the summit meeting, for a U.N. center for joint development of the peaceful uses of atomic energy...
...Freud now no longer stood alone. As early as 1902, he had asked his first supporters to meet in the little waiting room of his apartment each week.

The play is anti-British, anti-democratic and anticolonial. At a time like this, when we are having the greatest difficulties in stabilizing colonial administration, it is a great pity that this sort of thing has been...
News from a Broker. Bill W., a former Wall Street broker and surviving co-founder of A.A., argued that it was time for a permanent guiding body within the organization to take over from the elder statesmen, and the delegates agreed by ratifying a charter with a 15-member board of trustees. He also noted a switch in emphasis: now that its fame is widespread, A.A. gets more and more alcoholics (about half its new members) who have not yet sunk out of social respectability into Skid Row obscurity, who have had little or no experience with delirium, hospitals...
