The Reds continued to praise Kassem as "our savior leader," kept up their insistent demands for office. But last week the left-wing National Democrats, the only political party with open representation in the Cabinet, and a party that has often worked in the past with the Communists, decided "in response to the opinion of the Prime Minister" to suspend...

Yet his effort to be "President of all the people," his refusal to stoop to political partisanship, to indulge in personal attacks, to cry out in alarm, to dramatize himself as the nation's savior, has partly been to blame for doubts about his "leadership." Working mostly within the confines of his White House office and of the staff system to which he is dedicated, he has failed to translate and dramatize his achievements in a personal style.
