Sir Winston Churchill's peroration at the Lord Mayor's banquet in London expressed hope that "we might even find ourselves in a few years moving along a broad, smooth causeway of peace and plenty instead of roaming and peering around on the rim of hell." And the Soviet radio celebrated the 21st anniversary of U.S. diplomatic recognition of Soviet Russia by quoting George Washington: "Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations . . . should be excluded...

In doing so, he has flopped from his celestial altar. Although Senators are willing to believe the world has gone to hell, they will scarcely allow a colleague to insist they are a lynch party driving it there...
