...Since foreigners must sell to the U.S. in order to buy from the U.S., it follows, said Ike, that "the defeat of the trade agreements program would destroy far more jobs . . . than it could possibly ever preserve." But the President was not willing to rest his argument on self-interest. "It may be trite to say that trade is a two-way street, but is it trite to say that cooperative security is a two-way street? By no means. Allies are needed, [and] sturdy allies need progressive economies, not merely to bear the burden of defensive armament but also...
...government stood firm. Any attempt "to carry parliamentary controversies into the street," warned Bundestag President Eugen Gerstenmaier, "must be opposed in the interest of order in a constitutional state." As the U.S. Army almost casually announced that it already had guided antiaircraft missiles all over the country-in addition to scores of 600-mile Matadors that can be armed with either conventional or atomic warheads-Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss went ahead with his plans to buy 24 U.S. Matador missiles for his own army...
...respecting people want charity; they want to earn their way. To seize the initiative in the cold war, we must first make ourselves worthy of the leadership of the free world.

Todd invested early in Cinerama, sold out and invested in Todd-AO, sold his interest in this successful process to help finance 80 Days. He wanted everything to be big, fast, spectacular. On the first anniversary of 80 Days, he threw a party for 18,000 friends in Madison Square Garden that was a spectacular flop. "Well," shrugged Mike...
What lends the book its interest, despite shortcomings, is a scattering of mixed-blood, split-level aristocrats, culturally nouveau riche but genealogically ancien régime, and some well-described scenes of a dismal garrison town with bored military wives and senior officers well past their World War I prime. Above all, there is the unusual setting. Despite the fact that Novelist Dohrman, 29, has spent only one week in Haiti, he manages to convey that the jungle to him is partly D. H.
