Breakthrough's Edge. In the wake of the President's statement, some critics, e.g., New York Herald Tribune Columnist Stewart Alsop, assumed that the "hard line" staffers who doubt the value of Russian promises on disarmament had won some sort of "battle for the President's mind." The Alsop story was that Strauss brought Scientists Teller, Lawrence and Mills to see the President to clinch the arguments for keeping the tests. Actually the scientists came to see Ike in his capacity of chief of state. And they came under the auspices not only...
Ducking the Responsibility. The President's proposals, wrote the New York Herald Tribune's Columnist Roscoe Drummond, far from being acclaimed "with enthusiasm and a determination to pick them up and show that the states really want to reverse the tide of political power which flows to Washington, seemed to be about as popular as a stowaway at the captain's ball."

The Supreme Court has handed it to you on a platter. Come...
Fattened Ratings. Scheuer, a tall, balding man who never worked for a newspaper until he got his idea, does not write with the authority of New York Times Critic Jack Gould or the readability of the New York Herald Tribune's syndicated (90 papers) John Crosby. But in terms of his effect on which way the dial turns, he is the nation's most influential TV critic. Last week the Tulsa Tribune became the 96th newspaper (total circ. 15 million) to take his TV Key. Among other subscribers: the Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Bulletin, Baltimore Sun, Los Angeles Herald...
