...listened to Dulles and Molotov, it was disclosed that President Eisenhower had received an unprecedented, 2,000-word personal letter from Prime Minister Bulganin. Discussing the President's Geneva proposal for an exchange of military blueprints and for free aerial inspection. Bulganin did little more than rehash previous Soviet disarmament proposals and urge the President to work for them. While the President considered his plan as the beginning of a path to disarmament, Bulganin wanted a Soviet-style disarmament plan to come first. In language as warm as Molotov's smile, Bulganin neither accepted nor rejected the President...
...cardinals of the Inquisition were legally embarrassed. The charges against Galileo were a flimsy rehash of the 1616 affair, and the evidence fell some distance short of proving heresy. In the end, Galileo was condemned largely on the ground that he had willfully violated Bellarmine's so-called "injunction" of 1616.

For this, Author de Santillana offers plausible reasons...

Essentially his proposal was a rehash of what the Russians proposed in 1952. No prior commitments (such as EDC) would be permitted the new government, its arms would be limited to "tasks of a purely internal character" and its borders to what was left it at Potsdam...
...Teachers Union promptly denounced ex-Communist Dodd's testimony as a rehash of "all the stale old slanders and lies that she herself exposed and refuted in the days when she had a respect for facts." But the subcommittee issued subpoenas for ten suspected teachers. Only seven could be found at the moment, and each of them appeared carrying a bag full of evasions. One social-studies teacher belligerently challenged Senator Ferguson to make a tour of the schools and see for himself how teachers have been "frightened" by the many investigations into Communism among New York teachers. When...
