...clumsy, but his words had an engaging candor. He conceded nothing, but incessant Russian appeals for a summit meeting "to relax tensions" had thrown the West on the propaganda defensive. Unilateral Russian "renunciation" of nuclear tests-after the Russians had just completed a series of tests-enabled Khrushchev to pose as the world's leading advocate of disarmament. But just when everything seemed to be going so well for him, Nikita Khrushchev's foreign policy suddenly began to rattle, sputter and stall like an antique Moscow taxi...
...amused to see your photograph of the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and myself in such a striking pose. It is apparent that he is the champ. The Foreign Relations Committee heard me in a brief open session which was followed by a closed meeting that extended my time before the committee to a total of three hours.

None but the most starry-eyed of Liberals thought there was any real possibility of taking power themselves. But on the basis of their strong showing in recent by-elections, they now pose a very real threat to the Tories. Liberal candidates seem to be taking 2½ votes from the Tories for every one they have taken from Labor. Translated into a general election, such figures would not gain the Liberals many seats. But by drawing away Tory votes, they could lead...
Killian, who spoke with the others to an audience of high school principals and math and science teachers in Washington, B.C., said it is futile to accelerate science education without raising the level of education in general, and that first there must be an end to "the mucker pose that it's smart to be anti-intellectual." He called for "a weeding out of the trivial, narrowly vocational subjects...
