...most eloquent words were directed against the "expenditure of billions on military strength" when the rest of the world desperately needed economic and technological help. Subsequent events have in many respects confirmed his skepticism. When he died last week at 78, the military's image was tarnished and its leadership more severely questioned than at any time since Pearl Harbor...
Detachment, however, had its price, and Eisenhower's contempt for politics often hobbled his leadership. Though he despised Wisconsin's demagogic Senator Joseph McCarthy, he refused to say a public word against him?even when McCarthy viciously attacked George Marshall, and even when a word from the President might have brought McCarthy to heel. "I am convinced that the way for me to defeat Senator McCarthy is to ignore him," Eisenhower noted in a personal memo in April 1953. "Never to admit that he has damaged me, upset me, or anything else." Again, Ike's above-the-battle concept...
...peril implicit in a "guided democracy" is that the guide eventually has to depart.

...amnesty for 400-odd students. In a press conference, Hayakawa cautiously refrained from claiming victory, and promised to withhold decision on disciplinary penalties involving more than probation until after April 11.

Until then, a force of more than 150 riot-equipped San Francisco police will continue to patrol the troubled campus...
...racial unity of the prospective superchurch. Three of the participant churches are predominantly Negro in membership, and their presence as equal partners is now taken for granted. High on the list of priorities for consideration by denominational leaders is "How shall racial balance be achieved and maintained in leadership, both lay and ordained, at all levels of the united church?" Balance is the concern. The outline plan already provides that all offices of the new church, including the episcopacy, be open to all races. Ordination of women, on the other hand, and their eligibility to be bishops will probably...
