...opening of Congress next week were much more optimistic about the prospects. They are largely the same men who marched down the Hill only four months ago, but they are coming back to a different world. Inflation has changed to recession; the unassailable Eisenhower is under heavy assault; big talk of economy has changed to big talk of defense spending; and the air of smug superiority has yielded to the very real threat of Russian technological leadership.
