Last week the House, with growing concern about growing expenditures, stamped its approval on the committee's slash...
Change from Jello. As a slash at American middle-class life, Mr. Smith rarely cuts more than cuticle-deep.

Dunked in soggy prose and soupy characters, Mr. Smith still claims a kissing kinship with Babbitt and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman...
Tokyo's Hope. Two influential sources last week said yes. General Ridgway's headquarters in Tokyo put out a statement designed to show a cleavage between Moscow and Peking. Russia., said the statement, had inveigled the Chinese into the Korean war in order "to slash the strength of China . . . because a strong China on Russia's southern frontier is the Kremlin's nightmare . . .

The Kremlin's obvious advantage is to unwind U.S. determination, take the urgency out of the West's rearmament. So the Kremlin whispered tantalizingly of peace. That is the time of peril-the time of the Truce...
