...Dwight Eisenhower headed homeward, his successes only made it more certain that still more responsibility lay upon him to keep his quest for relaxation moored to the principle that has served him well: "Strength can cooperate; weakness can only beg." That principle might have prevented the holocaust that Europe mourned last week. Today Ike's principle might not only prevent World War III but might yet find a new kind of victory...
...Gaulle kept coming back to, the President was pleased and impressed by De Gaulle's new initiative there toward settlement (see FOREIGN NEWS). On NATO, the President restrained De Gaulle's widely bruited hopes for a sort of NATO three-power directorate by promising principally to keep in closer touch with more man-to-man transatlantic phone talks.

Not since Franklin Roosevelt's heady first term had a U.S. President brought his will to bear on Congress with such effective force, and never before had a President so effectively controlled an opposition Congress. The labor reform bill that...
Since Congress has refused to pass a requested $350 million increase in postal rates and to cut down farm price supports, only better-than-hoped-for expansion in business can raise tax revenues to keep the 1960 budget at or near balance. So Staats sternly opposed annual slices of $15.5 million to $22 million proposed for health benefits to retired federal workers...
