The 39th Congress, filled with anger as it viewed the ashes of civil war, followed the vengeful leadership of Thaddeus Stevens. In 1955 the 84th Congress represents a nation long weary of crisis and war, panaceas and promises. It is symbolized by a man whose son says: "He doesn't have a remedy for everything...

"But is it abnormal, is it surprising that our continual hesitations, our twistings and turnings, have troubled our allies? Let's not forget the past. Who asked for the Atlantic pact in the first place? It wasn't America. It was Europe. We feared that there would be no more American troops in Europe, or that the American troops would arrive too late." Bluntly, Faure warned: "We cannot always change our minds after having...
