...press conference: "Trade in itself is the greatest weapon in the hands of a diplomat." Ike's chief economic adviser, Gabriel Hauge, sympathizes with the Randall view. There are also followers of this line of reasoning within the State Department itself; e.g., Under Secretary of State Christian Herter and Deputy Under Secretary Douglas Dillon accept it, at least in theory. CIA Director Allen Dulles, brother of the Secretary of State, is also in favor. Among Allen Dulles' reasons: even a trickle of U.S.-Red China trade would give his agents great intelligence opportunities in Peking...
...Liberals. After last week's decisions the Christian Science Monitor headlined across three columns: SUPREME COURT PICKS ROAD OF LIBERALISM, and it seemed clearly apparent that the new court was following Earl Warren's signposts. This was the newest turn in as fast-moving a 20 years as the court has ever known-and some Washingtonians believed that it had taken the court farther leftward than at any time since Franklin Roosevelt's day. Roosevelt's most liberal court was built (from 1943 to 1946) around Justices Hugo Black, William Douglas, Frank Murphy and Wiley Rutledge...
Zoli's problem was to put together a government without the support of the three small parties that have helped keep Christian Democratic Premiers in office since 1953. The only bloc from which he might reasonably hope to win support was the right-the Monarchists and neoFascists. The problem was to get their votes without asking.

I have never sought them. I shall never seek...
...back into political grace to be put off by his avowals of philosophical hostility. But when 17 Monarchists and Fascists helped him win a 132-93 vote of confidence in Italy's Senate, the whole nation rang with outrage. In the halls of Parliament, other Deputies mockingly greeted Christian Democrats with a stiff-armed Fascist salute. From the industrial north came frantic warnings that acceptance of Fascist support was sure to cost the Christian Democrats dear in next year's general election...
...Careless Tellers. Even in the face of this, 24 Fascist Deputies gave Zoli their support. So did 280 Christian Democrats and Monarchists and one crucial independent-enough, according to the official count, to give Zoli a one-vote majority without the Fascists. Zoli and his ministers prepared to settle comfortably into office. Then, less than 24 hours after the Chamber vote, parliamentary tellers announced that they had carelessly counted as abstainers two Deputies who had actually voted against Zoli. If he continued to spurn Fascist support, anti-Fascist Adone Zoli appeared to be one vote short of a majority. Jeered...
