...disastrous failure' of the Dulles foreign policy in the Middle East." "It is generally conceded here that the Soviet Union and Egypt have scored a tremendous victory," the New York Times's James Reston reported nonsensically. In a piece called "The Kremlin's Shattering Triumph," Joseph and Stewart Alsop ranted: "Even among the Administration policymakers the almost hysterical emotions generated by pique against the British and French are now beginning to subside." Two days later the Alsops swung even more wildly: "The most strategically vital region of the modern world has been handed to the Kremlin...

By conserving and enlarging the social programs inherited from the New and Fair Deals, the Eisenhower Ad ministration helped set a course for the new conservative. Instead of returning to a dog-eat-dog economy. Administration trustbusters have vigilantly policed big business. The Administration has expanded social security, federal aid to hospitals, low-cost housing subsidies and other programs that were once anathema to the standpat conservative.
