...take this opportunity to pay my profound respect to your daring and courageous action in this battle, and also to congratulate you upon your miraculous escape under such circumstances. "I come to know from TIME that you are going to run for the next election of Senators. I am firmly convinced that a person who practices tolerance to the former enemy, like you, if elected to the high office in your country, would no doubt contribute ... to the promotion of genuine friendship between Japan...
When I wrote you last spring about TIME'S book, They Went To College, I may have indicated that it was the last word on the U.S. college graduate. Now it appears that the book is, in one respect at least, only the second-last word.

In terms of sheer political expediency, it might have been better if Ike had given Taft more substance and less face. But in more serious terms, Ike had met the Taft problem successfully. Taft's followers went to work for Ike-which was what the Taft followers had wanted to do, anyway. And thousands of "liberals" backed away from Ike in horror -which was what the liberals had wanted to do, anyway...
