...cartoonists expressed doubts and disagreements. Said the Tulsa World: "President Kennedy has outlined to Congress a program so wondrous in its hopes, so broad in its ambition, that it seems almost sinful to wonder if it may be too far out of this world." Said the Worcester (Mass.) Telegram: "Although his picture tends to be overly grim, Kennedy has made a thorough and quite scholarly diagnosis of the ills of the nation and the world. When it comes to remedies, he is less persuasive. The specifics of his program remain to be tested in the congressional fires." Grumbled the Chicago...
...intelligence. The authorities retorted that she should have used her influence to make Pasternak follow the official line in Doctor Zhivago. Fearing that Olga might be made scapegoat for his doctrinal errors, Pasternak wrote friends in Paris: "If, God forbid, they should arrest Olga, I will send you a telegram saying someone has caught scarlet fever. In that event all tocsins should be made to ring, just as would have been done in my case, for an attack on her is, in fact, a blow...
...invariably tries to browbeat the press, claims he once persuaded the New York World-Telegram to delete an unfavorable section from a review.

When Kennedy forswore golf except while on official vacations, the New York Post, which for years had been needling Republican Dwight Eisenhower for his golf, professed itself "dismayed." And the New York Times indignantly blamed the U.S. for this presidential sacrifice: "The nation might well worry its conscience over whether it has been having so much uncharitable fun with presidential golf that it has made...
...signature on the head-chopping telegram was that of Bernard Salumu, a moody, fast-talking 31-year-old Communist sympathizer who once had been Lumumba's private secretary, now found himself in complete control of Eastern Province, which he proceeded to declare independent last week. Weeks ago Lumumba sent Salumu to Stanleyville to set the stage for a new Lumumba-run capital in competition with Leopoldville. Salumu dealt harshly with Lumumba's foes. When eleven anti-Lumumba members of the Congo's Parliament flew back to oppose the regime in Stanleyville, Salumu's men grabbed them...
