Frantic Phonetics. "Christmas!" exclaims James Cartwright ("JC") Holland, "You'd think an intelligent, redblooded, white, church-going non-Communist like I ... would avoid ending up in the nude." JC, who tells about half the story in a stilted diary, is risibly riddled with middle-class hypocrisy. He believes in, and mouths at inappropriate moments, all the sociological doubletalk, cold war gobbledygook, and commercial jargon that he has ever heard...
KHRUSHCHEV'S offer to remove his missile bases from Cuba if the U.S. would dismantle its missiles in Turkey was a cynical piece of statesmanship. It took shrewd advantage of the frets and feelings expressed by many peace-loving, non-Communist handwringers in the U.S. and other countries.

...Though non-Communist Asia and Europe are still expanding economically, they are doing so far more slowly than a few years ago. Last week the Common Market Commission reported a still further "tendency for expansion to slow down" among the Six. The free world lag, says top Japanese Economist Ryokichi Minobe, "is not so much a slowdown of a recession nature, but a forced adjustment back to more normal, healthy rates." All over the world this forced adjustment shows itself in softer demand and sharper competition, in that old profit-price squeeze and nervous stock markets...
