...Replied the Vice President, just turned 46: "I feel older inside"). He pitched again at a dinner given by Motion Picture Association President Eric Johnston (who wants bigger sales of U.S. films to the Soviets), which was attended by such big opinion makers as New York Times Pundit Arthur Krock, Missouri's Democratic Senator Stu Symington and Texas' Lyndon Johnson. He had former Disarmament Aide Harold Stassen over for a private lunch at the Russian embassy. Mikoyan even ran the spiel again for the benefit of top labor union bosses James Carey and Walter Reuther (absent: A.F.L.-C.I.O...
Bugs & Jimmy. Columnists' comments were heady indeed. Humphrey, said New York Timesman Arthur Krock, had pulled off "the launching of the first American presidential campaign from the steps of the Kremlin."

...Krock shrugged off Griswold's speech as unclear, pointedly reversed Reston-Griswold's own rhetoric to declare that "disaster can at least be invested with the virtue of awakening the sleeper to his peril." ¶When Reston said De Gaulle's ascension to power in France so threatened the U.S.'s European policy that "even the modest gains of the past are now in jeopardy," Krock clucked that this sort of "anxious disapproval" was being expressed "largely by some currently displaced foreign policy-makers of the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations," tartly added that "these American...
