Crying out against both "foreign giveaways" and "slavish economic indigence" at home, he argued that too many Republicans have adopted the Democratic principle that the people of the U.S. should be "federally born, federally housed, federally clothed, federally educated, federally supported in their occupations, and die a federal death, thereafter to be buried in a federal box in a federal cemetery." In Modern Republicanism he saw only "a splinterized concept of Republican philosophy." Of the Eisenhower budget he cried: "It subverts the American economy because it is based on high taxes, the largest deficit in history, and the consequent dissipation...
When news breaks, Reporter Pressman roars to the scene in the station's Ford Thunderbird or Chevrolet station wagon, both of which are equipped with telephone and recording equipment.

They do not seem to care how Khrushchev's expose affects foreign Communist leaders who-living under no "reign of terror" in their own countries-had no excuse for their slavish subservience to Stalin's will (see below). Instead, the Kremlin turned to the one surviving European Communist leader with a certified anti-Stalin record: Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito. In the Kremlin's new reckoning, Tito was a "cleanskin" who could persuade neutralist and socialist governments, and waverers...
