...report correctly who was at the meetings and they misquoted those who did attend. The reporters oversimplified the debate by dividing those officials involved into "hawks" and "doves." The article is full of cliches and melodramatic devices. If Alsop and Bartlett had accurately reported Stevenson's statements the present furor might never have arisen. But accurate or inaccurate, the article has set a dangerous precedent. Leaks from the top will further damage the effectiveness of this Administration...
Raking the Ranks. Behind all this Nordic furor stood two stubborn men, stiffened by an antagonism as ridiculous as it was real. One was Franz-Josef Strauss, 47, West Germany's bull-bodied, bull-tempered Minister of Defense, who for all his bulk has a skin thin enough to invite puncturing.

Topeka & Santa...
Next Boat? Last weekend, after gulping down his supply of barbiturates, Soblen was pronounced in grave condition by British physicians. The British Home Office was in a furor trying to figure out just how Soblen had managed to accumulate his massive dose-and to consume it while presumably under heavy guard. In any event, when and if Soblen does get back to the U.S., authorities had better be sure he does not just walk off one day and board the next slow boat to Red China...
