China Policy: Since the Roman Catholic Church is militantly antiCommunist, Kennedy feels that his Catholicism makes him pretty much immune to any suspicion of "softness" toward Communism. Accordingly, he can take the political risks of proposing to "bring the Chinese into the nuclear test ban talks at Geneva," declaring himself "wholly opposed" to any U.S. commitment to defend the Nationalist islands of Quemoy and Matsu. He also has Connecticut Congressman Chester Bowles as his principal foreign policy adviser. U.S. Ambassador to India under Harry Truman, and a conspicuous liberal, Bowles advocates a "two Chinas" policy (i.e., the U.S. should cease...
Kennedy. Kennedy's weakness, in the public image, was foreign policy. Since the summit breakup in Paris, he has been bruised by the suspicion that he is too young to handle the man-sized diplomatic problems confronting the U.S. To erase that impression, he put on a statesmanlike dark suit, white shirt and sober, figured tie to deliver a major Senate speech on foreign policy.

He pleased liberals...

By then, cancer had colonized both lungs and was advancing from his stomach through the digestive tract...
...Roman dictator-arrogant and domineering on occasion, but indomitable in adversity, magnanimous in victory, farsighted in policy. British Author Rex Warner, an old hand at translating Caesar, has set out to fictionize him. In doing so, he carries fondness a step farther and tries to quash the lingering suspicion that Caesar may just possibly have robbed the Romans of some basic freedoms...
