Dulles had some cause for confidence. Soviet brutality in Hungary had once again impressed upon the mind of Western Europe the need for NATO as a defense shield. On hand with Dulles in Paris were Defense Secretary Charles Wilson and Treasury Secretary George Humphrey, both determined that NATO should not let down its guard. And in the face of the Soviet threat, other NATO members were no longer so anxious to cut costs by slashing NATO manpower...
...U.S.A. lie 8,000 miles, an ocean, half a continent-and an ideological infinity. One dark, rainswept night last week, two ex-G.I.s of the Korean war completed the long journey between those points. For Arlie Howard Pate, 25, the trip ended near Carbondale, Ill.; for Aaron P. Wilson, 24, it was over at Urania...
Poverty & Ignorance. In their backgrounds there is much that Arlie Pate and Aaron Wilson share. Both come from Godfearing, churchgoing, poverty-ridden families.

Both were captured near Chosin Reservoir in December...

But Britons have been nearly deafened ever since by Wilson's roaring. Aping the brusque hyperboles of one of his few idols, George Bernard Shaw, Wilson has gone about insulting both hosts and lecture audiences, damning society for its regressive complacency, whimsically denigrating Shakespeare ("a great poet with the mentality...
