Dulles' statement did not drown out other talk that the U.S. and Russia would probably face each other at summit parley II in 1958. Topflight Washington correspondents speculated that the U.S. might be ready to change its position on nuclear-weapons tests, which was that the U.S. would not stop the tests unless the U.S.S.R. also stopped nuclear-weapons production. The new line: after this spring's nuclear tests at Eniwetok Atoll, the U.S. will know more about "clean bombs'' for limited wars, hence will have less to lose by agreeing to a stoppage of tests...

We went to school and to college [University of Florida] together. Our wives went to college together ... I must confess that throughout my career I have not been what may be called a moneymaker.

It seems to me that the best possible service that you could render now as a member of the Federal Communications Commission would be to submit...
...missiles could be launched only "with the consent of the British government," he pointed out, and cited Opposition Leader Hugh Gaitskell's own statement that "there is no essential physical difference between the launching of missiles, which do not have to be manned, and the launching of bombers with hydrogen bombs, which have to be manned." He added: "If Russia, with her incomparably larger forces, were to launch an all-out attack, then the Western Allies would have the choice of striking back with nuclear weapons or submitting to defeat and occupation."
