More than ever before, responsible U.S. political thinkers are coming to recognize that the nation must, when necessary, go beyond the U.N. to achieve its intentions. One of the latest to do so is Arkansas Democrat William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who urges the U.S. to create and lead a new "concert of free nations," united both by opposition to "the formidable threat of aggressive imperialistic Communism" and by "a feeling and deep conviction of shared values and interests" (see cover story...

...steel ring. First, the nation's steelmakers, usually citing wage increases, begin to talk about raising their prices. Then from the U.S. Senate come powerful protests; Republican Robert Taft led the crusade against one of the first postwar hikes in steel prices in 1948, and Democrat Estes Kefauver fought the last one in 1958 by rising to complain in 13 out of 14 consecutive Senate sessions...
