...always a source of exasperation to me when I read about people like Simone de Beauvoir [I The Long March] who extol the virtues of Communism. It is remarkable that she returned to the "dirty" free world after her visit to Red China. Intellectuals of De Beauvoir's school of thought should return to the "lands of enchantment" where Marx is read instead of the Bible and love is superseded by a tractor...
...evening, after Capitol Hill's most emotional debate of the year, 17 Democrats joined up with 26 Republicans to kill the Kennedy amendment by a single vote, 43 to 42. No Senator likes to go on record as voting for anything that could possibly be interpreted as helping Communism: that is why Dwight Eisenhower's firm and forthright approval was needed. Cried George Aiken, his eyes glistening with tears: "I am amazed by the statement that the President does not favor the proposal. Why did he let the Secretary of State favor it all this time?" Bill Knowland...
...there has grown between two great blocs of nations the division between what we roughly call the free world and the Communist world. There are some who feel that this struggle is necessarily fated to end either in war or by the triumph of revolutionary Communism. I believe that to be too pessimistic a judgment.

We must not conceive of peace...
RECREATION F. & J. at Play Come crisis, Congress, conference or Communism, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles tries to slip away from his job every couple of months to rest and think. And when he gets away, in thorough Thoreau-going fashion he goes very nearly to population's brink. He and his wife Janet pack a single bag, fly to Watertown, N.Y., board a twin-engined amphibious plane near Lake Ontario, and fly out to their own private Duck Island (3 sq. mi.) and their primitive three-room log cabin-bare of telephone, electricity, running water and plumbing...
...excessive role in running a community's schools. In Lakewood, Ohio, when the school did not offer enough language and science courses, parents stepped in and taught them themselves; in Scarsdale, N. Y., a group of citizens organized several years ago, the now-defunct Committee of Ten to investigate Communism in the school system, and censor the books in the school libraries. In one community in Texas, a group of parents got together and demanded that European History no longer be taught in the public schools; their demand was heeded. The Lakewood experience worked for good, the others worked...
