...Washington weighed the implications of the Polish move. It was the biggest moment of decision in the cold war since Khrushchev last spring tore down the Stalin image and conceded to Tito that alternate roads to "socialism" are possible. (It was the State Department that first published the Khrushchev text.) The pattern had already been set. The U.S., by backing up Tito when he first broke with the Kremlin, had launched its first major step in breaking up the Soviet empire eight years ago. President Eisenhower, by deciding to continue that aid last week, took another step in encouraging...
...attention to another facet of Moscow relations-a personal note to Ike from Premier Bulganin calling on the U.S. to join with Russia in bringing H-bomb tests to a halt (but making no mention of the U.S. insistence on safeguards). Ike was nettled because Moscow had published the text before he had seen it. He was angry because Bulganin noted that "certain prominent public figures in the United States"-i.e., Adlai Stevenson -had proposed a plan to stop H-bomb tests.

At this point in the tactic, however, Stevenson, who fusses endlessly over his speeches, had a qualm; on delivery he toned down the last line of the attack to read "has not been fully informed...
Sweat pouring down his face, Nehru tried again and again to get back to his speech. The well-organized students hooted him down. The Prime Minister abandoned his text. "You have no guts. This is fascism! Communism is its brother. Before all this, Gujarat is a small problem. This tendency is suicidal." The booing persisted. Nehru shouted: "You know what would happen if you did this in China? You know what happened in Poland recently? You want India to shape the way you have behaved? Juvenile delinquents!" Eighty-two minutes after he had started talking, Nehru gave...
