...brilliant, independent analysis of the nation's post war diplomatic and military struggle with Communism. Title : Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy (Harper; $5). Author: Political Scientist Henry A. Kissinger, 34, associate director of Harvard's new Center for International Affairs, a policy consultant to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, wartime Army intelligence special ist. Heart of Kissinger's analysis: Americans must drastically revise their hopes for Communist redemption, e.g., through disarmament, their fears of all-out war, and their mental clichés about the shape of the next war, if they expect...
...Korea, the one limited war the U.S. has fought against Communism. All the confusions of U.S. policy popped up as fighting went on. Washington's fear of touching off a "big war" enfeebled U.S. planning to the point where General Omar Bradley, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, crossed off an-expanded offensive as "the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time."

Among these was one Armando Simontacci, who testified that, all of a sudden, although he had never been a member of the Teamsters, he was told one day by one of Dio's boys that he had been made president of Teamster Local...
...Rourke, 57, onetime ready-fisted dock worker, had led the committee to feel that he might cooperate with the investigators. He had been declared winner of the contested election, was forced to give it up after Lacey took the case to court-and finally, unopposed, took over Joint Council 16 when ailing Martin Lacey dropped out. O'Rourke's surprise: Fifth Amendment pleas on all pertinent questions, even a refusal to admit that he is president of the council or that he is acquainted with other Teamster officials. Asked South Dakota's Senator Karl Mundt plaintively...
