...divergence from Eisenhower's announced pro-U.N. policies. The British have long resented the fact that the U.S. did not invite them into its Pacific alliances, and thought Taft's proposal was a step forward-for Taft.

...McCarthy picked up the trail of Frank Coe just before election last fall. In his big Chicago Palmer House speech, the Wisconsin Senator listed Coe as a prime example of subversives in public office.

The faculty preferred Stevenson. But on one point all are united: Lawrence and its President have only contempt for Wisconsin's junior Senator. During the campaign, Pusey endorsed "The McCarthy Record," an objective condemnation of the Senator and his tactics. As one professor said, "Anyone can be anti-McCarthy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but for the President of the college located in Appleton, Wisconsin--McCarthy's stronghold--to sign that report, well, that took...
