...began to reply in a quiet voice. Talbott interrupted brusquely: "You haven't done one thing to defend me." Then an aide called them over for pictures; smiling like wooden Indians (or Washington officials), they posed together with Quarles. Later, Talbott denied that he had made his bitter remark to Wilson, but four witnesses said that they had heard...
...statement that Khrushchev "seems not to have suffered for making a drunken spectacle of himself in Belgrade:" . . . The choice of Mr. Khrushchev as an "ambassador of good will" is downright Machiavellian on the part of the Politburo. Mr. K., in his cups or otherwise, talks and sounds remarkably like a human being.

Nobody would ever think that an abscess of the gall bladder can be treated by pulling oneself together, but not many people are prepared to look at nervous anxiety states with the same attitude . . . Many religious people use towards a neurotic patient a kind of spiritual approach of 'Pull yourself together!' ... By this attitude religion becomes a sort of mental...
