...President had a mild lecture for the neutrals of the world (e.g., India's Nehru) and a warning for Communists. To the neutrals, he said: "The times are so critical . . . that grave doubt is cast upon the validity of neutralistic argument. Yet we shall continue faithfully to demonstrate our complete respect for the right of self-decision by these neutrals." To the Communists, he said that America speaks for peace, but added: "But let no man think that we want peace at any price, that we shall forsake principle in resigned tolerance of evident evil or that...

A 25-year-old laborer who had become the sadhus' "disciple" only two months before, he was barely alive. But dead or alive, his act of faith would have made the hill a profitable shrine for his masters who would later pass the hat to pilgrims coming there...
...decries the suggestion that Red China be allowed to use the captive American fliers in question as a bargaining point in her relations with the United States. Insofar as the U.N. has decided that the fliers were not spies and have not been legitimately imprisoned, it would be a grave policy error to allow China to capitalize on an action that has been so condemned...
