Senator Thomas John Dodd has praised Mr. John Foster Dulles for his unchanging outlook and foreign policy. He said that "flexibility implies compromise and concession | TIME, March 9] ... Have we forgotten the lessons of the Hitler era, with its compromises, concessions and flexibilities?" He belabors his point too far. There is a difference between yielding to Hitler's every wish, and allowing a foreign policy to change as the world situation changes-and the world changes over six years or fourteen...

(Harry Truman had no use for the place.) Some lesser lights of the British party, who followed by helicopter and car, grumbled about being tucked away in such sylvan solitude...
...United Nations Council, "Harvard's International Relations Club," has around 150 members, of whom at least 20 are "hard core." Based on an "interest in foreign affairs and a belief that the UN is a good organization," the Council is nonpartisan. In '56, both Stevenson pins and Ike buttons appeared in exec board meetings, and president Eldon Eisenach '60 said that "impartiality is the secret of our success...
