...streets, while helicopters scattered Naguib posters from above. Next day 4,000 Liberation Rally guerrillas snapped past beneath their death's-head emblem, and later chanted Allah Akhbar, Allah Akhbar. Then paratroops, Egypt's first, jumped into Heliopolis race track. "We have the means," cried Naguib, "to throw the British out of the Canal Zone any time we want." At 11:05 on Liberation night, the time the army moved last year against King Farouk, 101 guns boomed across the brooding Nile.

What really happened at the Washington foreign ministers' conference was very different from what was reported in the world press. The positions actually taken by each of the three ministers throw a lot of light on the failure of the Western powers to develop a new approach to the struggle with Communism over Europe...
...control is ruthless: when a group of high army officers, led by Marshal Tukhachevsky, tried to throw off Chekist control in 1937, they were liquidated, along with some 30,000 regular career officers.

In the milieu of bloody totalitarianism-his own creation-such an arrangement seemed like the product of a failing mind. Nothing was to keep so smart and faithful a student...
...83rd Congress, Dwight Eisenhower and his Cabinet took a hard look at it and decided to fight it. Secretary Dulles and other Eisenhower officials last April rode up to Capitol Hill to appear before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee. Crux of their arguments: this is no time to throw a monkey wrench into the country's foreign-relations machinery. There is no need for safeguards against such treaties as the Human Rights Covenant, said Dulles, because the Administration does "not intend to become a party to any such covenant"-or to other treaties outside the "proper field" of international relations...
