...wonder that some Republicans are trying to disassociate their candidate from such a movement, and from such a speech as that of last Monday. But unfortunately it was Eisenhower's closest political advisor, Senator Frank Carlson, who announced the strategy of using McCarthy back in September. And if that plan works, if McCarthy's speech does provide a final boost to the Republican campaign, it will put General Eisenhower in a position of obligation to the Senator. We hope, though little expect, that the General will have the courage to disavow this connection before it binds...

But, added the Economist, "may the best...

He works hard at his trade and sometimes wonders if he is going at it in the right way. "I'm always trying to strike a balance between the funny stuff and hard work.
