Even before the conference got under way, the Russians started the probing by demanding a conference-table seat for the East German puppet government.

...Atomic Energy Commission, in undermining the 1957 disarmament talks has not yet been publicized, though there is every indication that he was the man most responsible for turning American policy into an unnegotiable sham. The frauds which he consistently practiced on the American public in the fields of fallout danger and of test detection capabilities have not yet been exposed.
