...been as partisan as his Staff Chief Sherman Adams, speaking in Minneapolis, or Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater, who laced the Democrats in Detroit (see below). The hard fact is that the party which controls the White House is going into its 1958 campaign in rare disarray, with no visible political direction from the top. G.O.P. candidates have stopped chanting "We Like Ike." are relying instead on the cry of "Do It Yourself...
...score, 1957 was a year of retreat and disarray for the West. For Britain and France, the U.S. allies who fill out the world's Big Four, the year's theme was a recessional. Sir Anthony Eden, physically sick and spiritually drained after the fiasco at Suez, resigned as Prime Minister. His successor put out a White Paper proclaiming that Britannia was done with ruling the waves, was thinning out the proud red line of far-flung posts on which the sun never set, and withdrawing to a more realistic stance as a tidier, tighter nuclear power.

...Square Root of Wonderful (by Carson McCullers) obviously stems from a writer of talent. But in Square Root the talent seems in hopeless disarray.

As a result the bloc of "reasonable Arabs" - Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia - which the U.S. hoped to solidify had fallen into suspicious disorder. Jordan's King Hussein, plagued...
...succeeded to a somber estate," said London's Tory Daily Mail last January when Harold Macmillan became Britain's Prime Minister. The government left by the ailing Anthony Eden was in disarray, and almost everybody seemed to have reservations about the ability of the 63-year-old publisher with the too-elegant Edwardian manners. He was decried as "a gay amateur," "a political dilettante," "a foppish phrasemaker," or, if praised, praised with fingers crossed. The Tories, seeing their popularity drop in poll after poll, in by-election after by-election, were close to demoralization...
