...from his pocket a recent letter from Dwight Eisenhower, who wrote: "If there is any who opposes the President in his conduct of our foreign affairs, he should send his views on a confidential basis to the Administration; none of us should try to divide the support that citizens owe to their head of state in critical international situations." The absurdity of Ike's idea was pointed out by New York Daily News Columnist Ted Lewis: "Certainly Ike in 1952, when he tore into Truman's conduct of the 'police action' in Korea, was not following...

Moses immediately threatened to confiscate the place-particularly since the Indonesians still owe him some $250,000 to cover demolition costs when the fair ends. Cagily, the Indonesians stalled Moses by hinting that they were trying to get a New York entrepreneur to run the pavilion for them until the demolition money was raised. Meanwhile, they began hauling out of the pavilion everything...
