...ideas on how to win a fight, they are apt to lean heavily on the hope that the enemy will collapse from some weakness in his own ranks. U.S. foreign policy strategists comfort themselves with just such a hope. Secretary of State Dean Acheson has called Tito's defection from Moscow the most hopeful development in the battle between Russia and the West; what is implied is that Yugoslavia's Tito-and future Titos elsewhere-may do the U.S.'s job of defeating Communism. U.S. policymakers particularly cherish the notion that Mao Tse-tung will pull...
Last week the Mao-is-a-Tito theory was strongly back in the news, and calling for serious attention. If Red China and Red Russia are indeed having a falling out-or even if there is a serious probability that they will have one-U.S. policy should in that case do everything to widen the breach.

Soviet foreign policy occasionally changes tactics, but there is never a basic change in its substance...
...voice. They say I'm pushing and making a tremendous amount of tone. Well, you know what? When I push, it gets ugly, out of focus. I say to myself, 'Watch it, Mario; it's blurred.' I have an ear. I know. Tito Schipa said to me, 'Mario, you have the greatest given throat ever heard in a young man. Take care of it.' I am taking care...
