...quick suppression of the Hungarian revolt, refused to make peace with Tito. Peking fumed when Khrushchev, in 1958, suggested a summit meeting without inviting the Red Chinese. Peking's much-publicized opposition to Khrushchev's "peaceful coexistence" line has several facets. At home, this almost middle-class slogan threatens to dampen the revolutionary ardor Peking needs to justify the sacrifices of its own people. On the world scene, Red China would presumably like to provoke more local wars with the "capitalist-imperialist" enemy, even at the risk of a major conflict-since in Peking's view...
...Save the white man in South Africa." Spotlighting the main election issue with this racist campaign slogan, Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's extremist National Party last week swept to a landslide victory in South Africa's most apathetic election since the Nationalists came to power in 1948.

Dan Bell, head...
...obligations to NATO and the Western Alliance, the party leadership last week submitted an almost identical motion. In its defense, Gaitskell argued lucidly that a neutral, unilaterally disarmed Britain could only encourage Russia's "more aggressive elements" and "prove profoundly dangerous for world peace." To the left-wing slogan "No War over Berlin," Gaitskell replied forcefully that World War II had broken one year after Neville Chamberlain shrugged off Hitler's rape of Czechoslovakia-"a small nation that didn't matter very much...
Winston Churchill thereupon endorsed Monnet's French passport personally, sent him to Washington to help coordinate Anglo-American war-supply planning. It was Monnet who conceived the idea of Lend-Lease. And it was Monnet who coined President Roosevelt's famous fire side-chat slogan: "We must be the great arsenal of democracy...
