...glowing determination to walk "the extra mile" toward peace, has President Eisenhower walked too far for U.S. security's sake? Yes, said two knowledgeable liberal Democrats last week. He did so when he ordered U.S. nuclear tests stopped for one year without the U.S.'s twelve-year-old precondition of foolproof inspection (TIME, Sept. 1), did so again when he endorsed a test inspection system prepared by his scientific advisers which admitted that relatively small Russian underground blasts (less than five kilotons) could probably not be detected...

Nevertheless, Curley's view of the truth was in some ways unique and should be hinted at. He rarely explained anything he had said, unless by contradicting it. His attitude toward those of his own utterances that someone had had the temerity or good sense (depending on the circumstances) to record, was, at the least, oracular.
