...defeat. "Russia's announcement," said the Washington Post and Times Herald, "places the U.S. in an extremely ugly position before world opinion." "Like Carmen Basilic," said the New York Times's James Reston, "the U.S. has taken a terrible beating.'' The St. Louis Post-Dispatch talked of "an unnecessary loss of initiative in peace negotiations." Democrat Adlai Stevenson, who had unavailingly proposed in his 1956 campaign that the U.S. suspend its own nuclear tests unilaterally, feared that the U.S.S.R.'s move might "deprive us of the moral leadership...
...newsmen dashed over the jungled distances in sometimes-scheduled airliners, river boats, buses and ancient taxis.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Louisville Courier-Journal and Chattanooga Times were quick to tell readers how the slump was affecting community and family life, personal budgets, taxes, jobs. Marshall Field's Chicago Sim-Times ran a human-interest series on the steel-mill layoffs at Gary, Ind. (and in a story on employment agencies last week unearthed the fact that first-rate secretaries...
