...point of defense costs as long as they dealt with essential hardware, but he had little sympathy with foreign economic aid, and even less for the "welfare state" programs that wedged their way into the 1958 budget. His doubts broke through, almost by accident, when he made his famed remark last January that continued big budgets would bring on a hair-curling depression. Humphrey's prediction strongly influenced his business friends and encouraged a boom in G.O.P. conservatism; ultimately it led to a bipartisan economy binge in Congress that threatened not only the budget but the whole Eisenhower program...
...Supreme Court, wrote New York Timesman James Reston, had spoken out "emphatically'' against the "popular tendency" of assuming that a witness "must be guilty of some wrongdoing if he invokes the Fifth Amendment." Thus it was claimed the court had rebutted President Eisenhower's recent commonsensical remark that "if a man has to go to the Fifth Amendment, there must be something he doesn't want to tell."

We few dozen Bolsheviks listened to Lenin, taking in every remark as it revealed to us in a new light the meaning of the revolutionary events...
...friend and a top Cabinet figure, his hair-curling statements called for an extra-strong presidential rebuke if the U.S. was to believe that it was being taxed for an honest-weight budget. Instead, Ike decided to smooth things over, seemed almost to be agreeing with Humphrey when he remarked at his own press conference that if Congressmen could cut the budget, it "is their duty to do it." "I'm witk You." That was all the slashers needed. Before long, White House staffers were wringing their hands as they saw the Administration's programs under fire. Throughout...
