Stevenson will bring intelligence, energy, and some definite programs to the White House. At no time has the United States needed this kind of leadership more. Eisenhower has been "good" but he has not been energetic. Like a good nurse, he has made everyone feel better. But there are deep ills in America and the world which require more than soothing.

Indeed, the most remarkable thing about...

...Western alliance, formed to meet the Soviet threat, has deep divisions within it, divisions which result from the combined issue of nationalism and anti-colonialism. This issue is likely to become more complex and more divisive as Soviet military expansion recedes as a threat.
