That was the lesson which Republican Governor Alfred Driscoll of New Jersey read to his party colleagues last month when he won one of the few Republican victories in 1949 (TIME, Nov. 21). The lesson was read again last week by New York's independent-minded Senator Irving Ives...
...learned a lot about transportation, just the same, as he shuttled from railroading to one small trucking job after another, and he spent his spare time and money on books-the Bible, Shakespeare, and everything he could get on transport. By the time he had reached middle age, ambitious Jim Glynn seemed to be highballing down the road to his goal...

All the West knew with certainty last week was that the two most successful living Communists, masters of almost a quarter of the earth's land and more than a quarter of its people, had met, and that both were sworn enemies of the West. That was quite enough to know...
