With the U.S., under a Republican Administration, preparing to talk turkey with Red leaders, the political opportunity is obvious for Democrats to stake out a position from which they can, if things go sour, charge the G.O.P. with being "soft on Communism." Yet no Democratic presidential candidate in his prudence would ever get that far out on such a limb; Dwight Eisenhower's prestige is too great and, what is more, things might turn out far from sour. That being the case, the party position-staking last week was left to a Democrat who is not running...
Waiting for the President's plane at Palm Springs were red-faced official greeters: as Ike came down the ramp, windblown sand-not brassy sun-tingled his face, forcing him to bend almost double to avoid the sting. Spirits lifted as the President received a brass putter, welcoming gift from the city fathers of the "Winter Golf Capital of the World" (pop. 15,000). Grinning, Ike brandished the putter, climbed aboard a helicopter to fly 14 air miles to the hastily spruced-up Allen home. The housekeeper, Mrs. Emmet Reed, had opened the three-bedroom stucco bungalow...
...Western skies temporarily looked clearer, the storm clouds were still piling up in the East. In New Delhi last week the Indian government put out a map showing in detail the extensive areas on its side of the Himalayas (including some 6,000 sq. mi. of Pakistan) that the Red Chinese claim and, in some cases, have seized by force of arms.

As lithe girls danced by to the rhythm of bamboo castanets, and nine huge cloth dragons whirled along in pursuit of 60 golden lions, Red China's Mao Tse-tung beamed in the morning sunlight, bland and benign-looking as ever. Beside him, applauding energetically, was Nikita Khrushchev, ruler of all the Russias, who had arrived from Moscow by propjet the day before to help celebrate the tenth anniversary of Red rule in China. Just...
...Red China's answer seemed plain. At the height of last week's anniversary parade, 100 dark green tanks and 144 motorized artillery pieces clanked onto the broad square before Mao and Khrushchev. The pavement rang to the cadenced tread of 100,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen, and nine massive columns of militiamen. From overhead came the whine and rumble of 155 Chinese-made jet bombers and fighters. The procession ended, heavy with menace, as 700,000 workers marched by, 100 abreast, shouting, "Liberate Taiwan...
