Menshikov courted the U.S. loyal opposition by dining with Adlai Stevenson and giving him some tourist tips for his coming trip to the U.S.S.R.-"I will give you my assurance that you will be welcome everywhere." He began to touch bases on Capitol Hill, calling one by one upon Democrats Lyndon Baines Johnson, Mike Mansfield, Sam Rayburn, Republicans William F. Knowland and Joe Martin, even dropping in one day last week to see Ohio's Republican Representative William H. Ayres, who had written to ask if it would be all right to show some G.O.P. ladies around the Soviet...
...play, to which Irwin Shaw's script is reasonably loyal, is flagrantly Freudian, and it is to Hollywood's credit that the extremities of the Elms have not been pruned.

So T.R., ruthlessly shrugging off Hanna's loyal promises to cooperate, condemned Hanna to political death. Method of death: rapid-fire dismissal of pro-Hanna Republicans from patronage jobs in Hanna's Midwestern strongholds, installation of pro-T.R. types-"the right sort...
...this country were held to accountability before the law"; 2) "It was clear to all ... that the labor problem in the country had entered upon a new phase"; 3) "We were at absolute peace, and there was no nation from whom we had anything to fear." The loyal opposition's point of view, put by Historian Henry Adams, personal friend and gadfly: "Theodore is never sober, only he is drunk with himself and not with rum." But when T.R. stepped out of the White House by choice -he could have been re-elected-Adams paused. Said Adams: "I shall...
