...West's policy in the face of these gambits was slowly crystallizing. The West would never agree to an effective Russian veto in Germany. The U.S. and Britain would not object to a unified Germany with a central government; but they would insist that the West German constitution be used as the framework for this future German regime. The U.S. would almost certainly refuse to withdraw its occupation troops; the U.S. token force in Germany gives Western Europeans an indispensable sense of security from Russian attack...
...flying-saucer idea sank into the public mind, all sorts of mysterious swooping things were reported. Policemen in Portland, Ore. saw discs that looked like 'shiny chromium hubcaps." Two pilots n Alabama saw a huge black object bigger than an airliner. A man in Oklahoma City saw a "saucer" as bulky as six 6-B29s.

In the case of flying saucers, it appears to have worked hard. Since no single bolt or rivet of a mysterious aircraft has yet been found, there is no reason to believe that either Russians or Martians have been tearing...
...continue--not to mention big ones like the closed shop ban. The National Labor Relations Board will have to continue operating under a law parts of which both labor and management have attacked violently; it will be forced to go on throwing out the cases of unions whose officers object to non-communist affidavits or the required finance reports...
