Next to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the U.S. foreign policy expert who has caused the greatest stir in Europe's capitals this season is George Frost Kennan, 53, former State Department policymaker and U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, now a visiting professor at Britain's Oxford University. In November and December, Democrat Kennan fanned European neutralism when he proposed, over the British Broadcasting Corp., that the West start up negotiations with the U.S.S.R. leading to the neutralization of Germany and later of Europe (TIME, Dec. 23), and just before the NATO conference he came perilously...

A special investigator for the late Senator McCarthy, Rushmore testified before House committees as an "expert witness" on Communism, earned the Wisconsin Senator's praise as "one of our outstanding Americans at this time." After a much-publicized feud with Lawyer Roy Cohn, Pundit George Sokolsky and other pro-Joes, Rushmore was fired by the Hearst press "for economy reasons," signed on with Confidential, resigned...
