Forces of Evil. Stevenson turned to Korea and the paramount issue of "peace and war." Said he: "We all know that when the Communists attacked across the 38th parallel, that was the testing point for freedom throughout the world . . . Sooner or later we would have had to fight, and the later we made our stand the bigger and harder the war would have been...
...appearances. But these false appearances-that is, the strength of the Western partnership-obviously looked pretty impressive to Stalin himself. "Outwardly, everything, as it were, is 'satisfactory,' . . . But it would be incorrect to think that this 'prosperity' can be maintained 'forever and ever.' " Sooner or later, Japan and Germany would want to get out from "under the heel of American imperialism."

Fish did fine in New York City, but he had to give up in the wilds of the Adirondack mountain counties, where it is hard enough to find five thousand inhabitants, let alone disgruntled Republicans. In Connecticut, however, Miss Vivian Kellems met the filing requirements and began sniping at both major candidates in her weekly radio...
