...Democratic candidate's political views themselves are best described as moderately liberal. He says little that any member of the Democratic Party would oppose, and even when he attacks the Eisenhower Administration, it is a question not of what the nation's policy should be, but of whether or not the President has adhered to the course which is supported by Democrats and Republicans alike. Typically, the Stevenson solution for the farm problem is merely to try harder than the Republicans have tried, using any available means--including 90 percent price supports if necessary--to boost the farmer's income...
...Cambodia. Imaginative responses from Washington to new Soviet techniques have been nil. In fact, the Middle Eastern muddle is just the latest and best instance of a policy that evidently evolved while the policy-makers were losing drinks at shuffleboard in the Bahamas.

Whether Ike runs or not, he got Morton off to a running start with a blue-ribbon resignation-acceptance letter. Wrote Ike: "You have not only earned the profound respect...
Union leaders threatened to call a general strike for March 1, the day Kekkonen becomes President. The President-elect's first move was to pick his defeated rival, Social Democrat Karl-August Fagerholm, to form the new government. Finns took this as fresh evidence that Kekkonen is his country's shrewdest politician. If the unions strike, they will be striking against a Socialist Premier...
