...July 10, the Communist armies were in bad shape. From their last two spring offensives, they had reeled back with losses of probably 250,000 men.

Moreover, the Eighth Army, which Matt Ridgway had turned into a first-class fighting machine, had proved by its "meat-grinder" counteroffensives that it could grind some 90 miles farther north to the line where the peninsula widens out, swallowing up Pyongyang (the North Koreans' capital, which they had lost once before) and some...

Last week, following a roaring attack by Red Boss Palmiro Togliatti on visiting NATO Chief Matthew Ridgway, De Gasperi jumped to his feet, turned toward the Reds and said: "Remember this! As long as I remain in this place, I shall not recognize that you have a right to prepare a revolution in Italy. If present laws are not sufficient to curb you, we shall make new ones." In other words, one down, one more...

...Paris, the abbés last week told their story. "Faithful to our connection with the working world, we found ourselves with everyday friends, Communists or not, Christians or not, [who] wanted to express in spite of government restrictions . . . hopes which can be translated by the following words: 'Ridgway in France means...
