...East Germany after World War II, some 700,000 Social Democrats, influenced by feelings of comradeship for the Communists during the bitter struggle against Hitler, accepted the Communist slogan-"Democracy v. Fascism"-at its face value and joined a popular-front organization called the SED. Among them were hundreds of top Socialist leaders, including ex-Editor (of the anti-Nazi Brandenburger Zeitung) Friedrich Ebert, fat, pink-cheeked Max Feehner, onetime toolmaker, and gaunt, ambitious Otto Grotewohl. When skeptics called the SED a Communist maneuver, Grotewohl laughed and said that the Socialists, outnumbering the Communists three to one, would take over...
...leaders spent most of their time milling around the lobby, airing local problems (how to interest young people in Pennsylvania's mossback G.O.P. organization), inspecting campaign gimmicks (ladies' hose with "I Like Ike" lettered across the ankles) and considering, with notable lack of enthusiasm, a limp national slogan ("Ring the bells and tell the people").

He quoted Eisenhower as saying at the time of his second-term announcement that some of the presidential work "can now be done by my close associates as well as by myself." Said Adlai: "I could not help but think of that little...
...Democrats, to defend themselves against the reproach of softness on communism, will be tempted to take a "tough" line on foreign policy issues; and the Republicans, in an effort to pour substance into the "peace" half of their "Peace and Prosperity" slogan, will call piously for a patient bipartisanship...
