Although Eisenhower, patriot that he is, declares his willingness to swear every morning that he is not a Communist, he feels that the universities have a right to resent being "singled out" as a group of potential subversives. He regards a basic citizenship oath as sufficient...
Libyans also resent supervision of aid projects by U.S. teams, as the daily Fezzan grumbled: "We receive from America a sum of money that we are not allowed to spend as we see fit. The money is channeled to us through uneconomical agencies that keep highly paid foreign employees and fleets of cars."

Adenauer's party whips were hard at work rounding up pledges for Lübke, fearing that Christian Democrats who resent Adenauer's recent moves, but have not dared oppose him openly, might take advantage of a secret ballot to vote for Socialist Schmid...
