...Network. Even before the leadership election last February, Wilson confided to Laborite Richard H.S. Crossman that "Labor should be the party of science." He explained: "If I get the job, I believe the party will be able to liberate the frustrated energies of thousands of young scientists, technologists and specialists who feel there is no room at the top for them under the present antiscientific Old-Boy network in industry and Whitehall...
...recent months, Wilson and Crossman have discussed his program with scores of scientists and educators in Britain, the U.S. and Russia (but not, apparently, with Novelist-Scientist C. P. Snow, who has graphically documented the follies of government-directed research in wartime).

Said Grossman: "Poor Mr. Eisenhower is far too old and ailing even to try negotiations with the Kremlin." Asked the Sunday Express: "Will Ike now turn to Macmillan?" Answer: yes. Reason: "Too long has Ike let himself be known as a leader only in title, who in fact, needs someone else to lead him." Said the Daily Telegraph: "President Eisenhower is, alas, no longer robust, and the West can provide no substitute for an active and authoritative...
