...Malign Planets. Last week the seers were busier than ever making their forecasts for the new year, and, as usual, their admirers could take their choice. France's Madame Frederika, voted most reliable voyante of 1966 by a poll of Paris newspapers (on the basis, among other things, of her prediction that two French scientists would win the Nobel Prize), predicted that Germany would make significant advances toward reunification and that Russia might land on the moon.

In the scholarly lexicon, this is the classic example of the malign power of the Senate to "destroy" a U.S. President who had become an idol to all the world. In a sense it was-but not quite. The proposed treaty had been radically altered by the "reservations" added by Republican Henry Cabot Lodge Sr. Still, some thought it would be better to have this treaty than none. Wilson, however, wanted all or nothing, and he instructed the Democratic Senators...
