...Shigesaburo Maeo of Japan's ruling Liberal-Democratic Party, "but must reaffirm our determination to continue resistance against such inhuman conduct." Said Philippines President Carlos P. Garcia: "If Russia does not stop her defiant disregard of the feelings of entire humanity, she will inevitably reap what she has sown." Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan spoke for the entire free world when he said: "If Khrushchev's reason was to spread panic among our people, then he has signally failed...
...malevolent death bore down on ordinary prairie folk to whom Author Siebel assigned hardly a pleasant, let alone a happy, moment. For the Time Being is relatively upbeat. No one dies.

But in the long perspective of the battle for Southeast Asia, the Laotian showdown could sow important seeds of its own. The President had faced up to the crisis with great coolness and style. He was newly familiar with the face of the enemy on the battle line, and newly familiar with the weapons at his command. In leading an attack on free Asia, Nikita Khrushchev also contributed to the seasoning of the West's cold...
