...nothing in the evidence seemed to justify the death penalty that State Prosecutor Altay Egesel so frequently demanded for both Menderes and Bayar. (So far, death has been demanded for Bayar on four separate counts, for Menderes on seven, including the comparatively trivial Istanbul expropriations case.) In the eyes of many, the circus-like atmosphere of the trials demeaned such points as the prosecution was able to make. Sharp sallies against Menderes & Co. by Prosecutor Egesel and the presiding judge are applauded by a courtroom claque, responses by the defendants jeered...
...There has been a very good response," said Dean Brown. She added that the reports are made anonymous to encourage the girls to use them in every possible situation, including events that might seem completely trivial...
...week's end, the presidential press corps caught some lively fire themselves-and from an authoritative source. "You get some of the most silly, trivial questions at a presidential press conference," former Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told a group of Air Force officers in Manhattan. As he reminisced about his service in Washington, the American Broadcasting Company's new vice president for news recalled that "President Eisenhower went for seven straight weeks before receiving a question on Suez"-at a time when the 1956 Canal crisis was making headlines every week. What is more, said Hagerty...
...popular support for Castro, but because we falled to send in the Marines (with the supporting argument that Castro suppressed a domestic uprising by terror. Today's New York Times already hints at this argument. There may have been a touch of the hard hand. But this looks trivial to me. Castro's economic program seems to me what saved him). Harvard and other "liberals" who have originated or played along with the Cuban policy will be discredited by its failure to work. They are now, I suspect, even more the prisoners of the hardware crowd than before. Whether they...
...time disarmament negotiations are resumed this week at Geneva, their success of failure will already have been largely determined. Fifteen years of talks have shown little else but the fact that what is said across the tables is trivial compared to what goes on in the front offices and on the backstairs of government buildings in Washington and Moscow. The conferences are juggled back and forth between the hands of militarists, propaganda-minded diplomats, occasional wild-eyed idealists, and a few realistic advocates of arms control. If there are to be any results from this latest effort, then the balance...
