...play itself was sharply criti- cized. (One scene in the play shows a "typical" democratic election candidate stuffing a ballot box.) Sherman Adams, Driberg reports said it might do serious damage to the cause of democracy in Asia. Ambassadors cabled protests, and John Foster Dulles notified embassies that MRA had no official standing. Vice-President Nixon tried to get the tour stopped...
...Hare's testimony about the "borrowed" money raised a particularly delicate question. As Kentucky's Republican Senator John Sherman Cooper asked at the hearing, if Dodd had really understood the money in the testimonial accounts to be his as a gift-and not a political contribution-why had he carefully avoided writing personal checks against it?

Once, most corporate marriages were either vertical (between suppliers and customers) or horizontal (between competitors). The Sherman and Clayton antitrust acts defined the terms for such mergers, and the Supreme Court interpreted the definitions in their strictest sense. Laws and precedent are much murkier regarding the "conglomerate" unions that now account for 70% of merger activity...
