Your article on the nuclear test debate was excellent, especially in view of the publicity given to the "Ban the Bomb Boys." For the layman, there appears to be only one choice: Should he put his faith in Edward Teller, the "father of the H-bomb," or in Linus Pauling or Edward Condon, two scientists who have so long leaned toward the left (politically) that they are no longer able to discern what is right (militarily or morally)? I prefer to trust my nuclear future to Dr. Teller...
...clear Eisenhower go-slow line involved considerable political risk. In standing against tax cuts, in heading off dreamboat public-works projects that he thought would ultimately contribute to inflation, Ike was staking the Republican reputation in an election year on his basic faith in the U.S. economy. If he was right, the recession would some day be forgotten, and the pundits would turn happily to the next crisis. If he was wrong, the Democrats would never let the nation forget that they were its true heroes...

Columbia's compatible disk, other recordmakers argued, produced neither good monaural sound nor genuine stereo sound. Protesting its faith in its system, Columbia nonetheless fell into line. Chances are that the majors will be out by midsummer with a limited number of noncompatible stereo disks selected for their inherent sound qualities...

The direction of American foreign aid funds to an international agency such as the I.D.A. would be a sign of good faith and of "no strings attached" aid that the Soviets might feel constrained to match. Monroney's proposal, though not a panacea, is probably a good idea; it deserves more consideration than it has been given to date...
...church be compelled to admit into itself ceremonies of other sects. To insist on such compulsion is certainly not to favor tolerance against intolerance. It is rather to prefer irreligion (or perhaps mere religiosity) to every conviction of religious reality. By welcoming, without query, the services of all faiths, the church would in effect exclude everyone whose religion is more than a gesture; it would be making itself into a shrine to the one unifying faith of Harvard indifference...
