...each side were convinced that the other side realized the uselessness of war from the point of view of its own aims and ambitions, it would become possible to negotiate with some hope of reaching solutions. There are problems which, in the present temper of the world appear insoluble [e.g.], the unification of Germany. But no problem is insoluble where there is mutual goodwill and where concessions are not regarded by one side as a triumph and by the other as a disgrace. The truth is so plain and simple that it seems as if governments must in time become...
Lately, Boom-Boom seems to have kept his temper in check. His fans note that he has acquired some of the social graces, such as saying "Pardon me" when he belches and making polite small talk while signing autographs. He smokes big cigars, wears sharp clothes, owns two apartment houses. Geoffrion is also a family man (married to Marlene Morenz, figure-skating daughter of a hockey immortal, the late Howie Morenz...
Thought of Revenge. At long last, Joe stood politically alone. A man who will let his temper trap him into such a political debacle can hardly be expected to lead a serious third-party movement. Between now and 1956, McCarthy may get angry enough to run for President-not because he wants the job, but because he might see such a move as revenge.

If the U.S. did not withdraw from its "occupation" of Formosa, "it must take upon itself all the grave consequences...
...Temper Tantrums. Possibly the biggest disappointment of the new season is the failure of Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca to produce even a fraction of the fun separately that they did together in years past as co-stars of Your Show of Shows. Imogene seems hopelessly bogged down in inferior material. Caesar has been saddled with a story line that succeeds in making him a good deal more cantankerous than comic. Perhaps unconsciously, his show appears designed as a replay of Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners on a considerably higher income level. Caesar's continuing sketch, The Commuters...
