New Moderator of the Southern Presbyterians is the Rev. Charles Darby Fulton, 55, onetime missionary to Japan and secretary of his church's Committee of Foreign Missions since...

The U.S. had not told any of its friends what it was doing; some Western European diplomats felt as though a vague but vast doublecross was going on over their heads. One Paris theory: that the U.S. would withdraw support from Western Union in exchange for a Russian promise to muzzle Communist parties outside Russia and the satellite states. The other, more widespread-guess among Europe's startled statesmen was that the U.S. was merely trying to beat Moscow to a propaganda pedestal: we-love-peace-more-than...
