...Vice President Richard M. Nixon declared, "We can feel quite fortunate that Khrushchev rather than someone else is the dictator of the Soviet Union." Last week the case for Khrushchev as a man of peace-and a possible future ally of the West against Red China-was given front-page treatment in a series of articles in the New York Times written by Reporter Harrison E. Salisbury after a two-month swing through the Soviet Union...
...newsstands, the new Sunday paper had a clean, uncluttered look (six columns to the page instead of the customary eight), and it was certainly easy to carry home (8 oz. v. the 4 Ib. 2 oz. of the New York Times). The pictures were played for dramatic effect: a blast-off shot of Saturn, the U.S.'s largest rocket, soared majestically the length of the page; a glowering portrait of Brigadier General William B.

In particular the editions of Baehrens...
Levity has its place, and under certain circumstances, one could imagine even joking about nuclear war, but under no circumstances should a responsible organization such as yours dip to expressing an attitude of this sort on the editorial page. Now I realize that the article on January 29 was billed as a book review, and that for the preceding weeks, examination period had been in progress, but surely a more mature attitude towards the subject could have been developed and expressed...
