...argument of the book, already tightly packed, cannot easily be reproduced in a few paragraphs. It starts with a sketch of the scientific revolution that produced the hydrogen bomb and the ballistic missile, and then the arms race. Was the source of the arms race the deep mutual suspicion that H. Stuart Hughes stressed in An Approach to Peace? (If this is the case, an American policy of unilateral disarmament intiatives to dispell suspicion would evidently be sound). No, Aron attributes the cold war "permanent alert" to the frank realization on both sides that there will be no interval, such...
...would have written sooner to thank you for Jake Brackman's sketch of me but I have had my hands full trying to persuade by tailor not to sue the CRIMSON for libel. I have never owned, or even been tempted to rent, a suit "with wide stripes and wider lapels." I must also, in justice to past employers for whom I retain a deep and grateful affection, correct his story that I started my own news-letter because I was "tired of researching news that city editors wouldn't print." On the contrary I started my Weekly...
When the sitter for this week's cover by Italian Painter Pietro Annigoni saw the finished sketch at No. 10 Downing Street one morning last week, he wondered at first if there wasn't something a little wrong about the eyes.

...G.O.P. party worker so peculiarly out of line with his leaders? The answer is suggested in Rovere's sketch of Goldwater's career. In 1952 Goldwater was only a few years removed from the party worker level (big contributor variety); he was a conservative Eisenhower Republican. But somewhere between 1952 and 1956, as Rovere puts it, the conservative and his conscience met. Goldwater got ideology. He repudiated the Eisenhower Administration, the essence (and justification) of expediential Republicanism...
Returning across the country on a camping trip with his wife and three children, Slive was haunted by the picture: "I know it "sounds corny, but I honestly had visions of that painting in the campfires." Back in Cambridge, he had the oil sketch shipped to him for closer inspection. Fogg Art Museum colleagues, including Jakob Rosenberg, scrutinized it and agreed on its authenticity. Experts evaluated it as high as $400,000. To make finally certain, Slive strung the painting around his neck in a bag and flew off to Holland. "I felt just like James Bond," confesses Slive...
