Rusk is commonly labeled "colorless" and-notably by Schlesinger-"indecisive." Yet, as he points out, "the course of wisdom lies in reducing the impact which accidents of personality have upon the relations among nations." He deplores "making policy by phrase," usually writes statements and memos in tinder-dry language. Not that he is totally incapable of turning a wry phrase or cracking a joke. During the Cuban missile crisis, it was Rusk, after all, who commented: "We're standing eyeball to eyeball and I think the other fellow just blinked."

...that "the President would and should have the support of the overwhelming majority of the American people if he decides to resume the limited bombing."

Conventional mortgage rates have already started to climb-to as much as 6¼% in San Francisco, Houston, Cincinnati and elsewhere-and are likely to rise a bit more. Hardest hit will be the Southeast, the Southwest and the Far West, which have to import much of their mortgage money from...
...Alden Pyle in The Quiet American gave that book its point; the same quality now in Presidential Candidate Smith makes no detectable point at all. Brown's tormented alliance with another man's wife duplicates the plot of The End of the Affair, but not its impact. Greene's prevailing climate of disillusionment pervades The Comedians-but as a kind of emotional weather report...
