...threat of war is still the ultimate argument of the diplomat; the conduct of war is still the business of the soldier. But in the nervous decades of nuclear adventure, the infinite implications of armed combat have made a military authority of the scholar. It is the scientist with his slipstick who measures the effects of untried weapons in future battles. It is the professor at the blackboard who defines the dilemmas that complicate each new scheme for building a practical deterrent. One acknowledged dean of this new breed of cold-war scholars is Political Scientist Henry A. Kissinger...
...concert that included Dvorak's Fourth Symphony and Beethoven's concert aria Ah Perfido!, sung by Lewis' wife, Soprano Marilyn Home. Vigorous, sweeping Conductor Lewis had previously led the Seventh Army Orchestra and the Los Angeles String Society, a group he formed himself in 1958, will conduct several other Philharmonic concerts.

But they lacked the knowledge to evaluate the merits of each applicant and his program and, in effect, resigned this function to the departments...
...exist, and there are sound reasons why they are preferable to personal diplomacy. It is not simply that Rusk is needed to coordinate policy in Washington, though that is also true. The question is whether Kennedy will be pressured into the kind of thinking that characterized and crippled the conduct of diplomacy under Eisenhower. Man-to-man talks gave leaders valuable knowledge of each other, but they bred foolish hopes and symbolic solutions to grave problems. The personal touch, the smile to the cheering crowds, the joint communique--all are hallmarks of a tradition which thinks reassuring people more important...
