...Gaulle protested against this situation as early as 1958, when France had only just begun building its own independent force de frappe, and Eisenhower had turned down a proposal for a U.S., British and French triumvirate to direct the West's global strategy. From that point on, the general gradually withdrew more and more of the French military part of the shield from NATO. Last September he proclaimed: "In 1969, at the latest, the subordination known as 'integration' which is provided for by NATO and which hands our fate over to foreign authority shall cease...
...Washington lobbyist, "we need to put in more effort." The most conspicuous absentee from the registration campaign has been Martin Luther King, who for years raised Negro suffrage as his battle cry. Since winning the Nobel Prize, "De Lawd," as his followers call King, has been so preoccupied with global affairs, such as the war in Viet Nam, that he has had little time for the cotton-picker vote...
What galls the Gauls, of course, is the recent triumph of English. Time was when French was the tongue of "international"-meaning Continental-diplomacy.

With television and jet planes to thrust him into homes and home towns the world over, the President is also much closer to the people than ever before. This was recognized by Jim Hagerty, Eisenhower's press secretary, who with Dr. Paul Dudley White was largely responsible...
...Wrong." An admirer of Richelieu, Talleyrand, and Bismark, he could hardly be accused of starry-eyed idealism, and his name had been associated for many years with the power-conscious realist school of international relations. His central argument was that we were on the verge of entering a global anti-Communist crusade which would inevitably involve us in a disastrous war with China. In contrast to the doctrinaire emotionalism of a crusade, Morgenthau pleaded for a flexible and sophisticated policy based on a rational calculation of our interests and power. We still had time, he felt then, to exploit...
