Part of the press asserted, with an air of tolerant wisdom, that Eisenhower was paying a political debt incurred in the 1952 campaign.

"What are the Soviets after?" he asked sarcastically. "What is the significance of the third sentence in the second paragraph of some editorial in a propaganda sheet steered from Moscow? This wholly unimaginative, enfeebled attitude of people who stare like rabbits at a snake, and wait to be devoured-this just fills the Soviets with contempt...
