...twelfth-floor room of the Federal Building in Boston, stands a large map of the U.S., and above it runs the inscription : "Justice is the guarantee of liberty." At the bottom are the names of distinguished Massachusetts jurists-Cushing, Story, Curtis, Gray, Holmes, Moody, Brandeis, Frankfurter.In front of the map one day last week sat a onetime Wisconsin circuit judge, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, busy in active refutation of rumors that he was going to quit the Communist chase and devote himself to less flamboyant pursuits. McCarthy was in full cry after an old quarry: Associate Physics Professor Wendell...
...divided like the Conners and the Baileys into C.D. sheep and irresponsible goats. When the Red bombers come roaring in from Canada and the Gulf of California, the sheep keep their heads and the goats go raving crazy. New York, Washington, Detroit and Philadelphia are wiped off the map; 20 million people are annihilated by a combination of bombs, fire, germ warfare and national hysteria. Luckily a U.S. submarine, containing "the largest hydrogen bomb ever assembled," is lying handy in the North Sea. It enters the Baltic, submerges, and explodes itself. The whole northeast of Russia goes up in smoke...
...Luxembourg, Luxembourg, where is that on this map?" huffed France's famed statesman Aristide Briand at a diplomatic conference many years ago.

The Communists fell by night upon a French-Laotian company near the border and cut it quickly to pieces. Then the invaders headed west through scraggy hillsides towards the Mekong, using footpath trails to bypass the French defense posts along the main highway. They need not have bothered: the French, hopelessly...
...independence from the British Raj. Refugees and merchants, intellectuals and beggars, untouchables and children came surging from the dusty bazaars of the ancient capital, chanting "Hands off Asia" and "We don't want Pakistan to be another Korea." In Gandhi Park, the crowd milled around a great map of Asia, while Congress Party leaders attacked the "unholy and ill-designed" plan for U.S. arms aid to Pakistan...
