...less in sympathy with the British position that the European front is the really important one in the cold war, he deemed it reasonable that trade restrictions on Red China-growing out of the Korean war-need no longer be tougher than restrictions on Russia. Said one White House staffer: "Let's face it. Behind the President's remarks is his very real thinking that it is idle to attempt indefinitely to arrest the flow of water downhill. Every dam must have its outlet...
...From then on the showdown was inevitable. In early 1954, as chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Joe joined battle with the Army over a none-too-bright McCarthy staffer named G.

Whatever the cause, the effect was a national wave of sentiment in favor of Mike Parker reminiscent of the emotional binge touched off two years ago by the unhappy romance of Princess Margaret and divorced commoner (and palace staffer) Peter Townsend.
