...board has dynamited its own findings in two particulars. First, in saying that Dr. Oppenheimer's loyalty plus a high degree of discretion are not enough. National security must be absolute, says the board. But to call for absolute security in a relative world is to erect a standard that only dull, timid, mediocre men can satisfy by their absolute conformity...

Not Great Britain, France and West Germany, who are, in fact, walking more erect than any time since World War II. However, since there is usually a time lag between a downturn in the U.S. and its effects on the rest of the world, businessmen thought it too early to tell whether the stalwarts of Europe would be affected. But in countries whose economies are most closely tied in with the U.S., e.g., Canada, Mexico, there was some...
