...Command Decision." Stunned Democrats were slow to react. For the first time in Washington memory, Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey was speechless. California's Governor Edmund G. ("Pat") Brown soon weighed in with a statement that "the conservatives are in complete charge." Adlai Stevenson lamented that Rocky's decision had left everything to Vice President Nixon: "Whether he is to be the new Nixon or the old Nixon, he remains the same Nixon." Stevenson praised Rockefeller as a "forward-looking liberal." It was clear that as far as the Democrats were concerned, nothing became Rocky's candidacy...

Austrian authorities professed total ignorance.

Being a Communist, he did not intend it that way either, but had to react to the situation of Poland's arrested revolution of October 1956. His compromising never sat well with the diehards of the Stalinist era, who believed in tough and tidy centralized control. Gomulka allowed more local authority for factory managers and town bosses, and peasants were permitted to abandon the collective farms to till their own plots...
