...free elections, strengthening NATO, defending Formosa and Quemoy, adding to deterrent power, pressing and pressing again the need for more trade and aid. The strong foundation: the health of the U.S. economy and way of life as evidenced in 1958 by recovery from recession at home (confounding a basic Marxist proposition) and by the popularity overseas of U.S. staples that ranged from glass-walled skyscrapers and management consultants and supermarkets and consumer-credit washing machines and hula hoops and Benny Goodman at the Brussels Fair to the individual dedication of thousands of Americans serving on the cold-war front lines...

...that stalked the earth in 1958. One who did was himself among the world's growing group of soldier-trained leaders. By putting his personal mark on great events and proving once again the fundamental Christian proposition that history is shaped by individuals, not by blind fate or inexorable Marxist laws, France's Charles Andre Joseph Marie de Gaulle, 68, made himself the Man of the Year...

The enthusiasm was not unanimous. Premier Sylvanus Olympic of Togoland, a French U.N. trusteeship slated for independence in 1960; would like to join "an eventual federation," but was careful to add that this "will certainly not be easy."
