...effect as a limited nuclear war." The four Americans contend, of course, that any such nuclear war would not be "limited." Alois Merles of the opposition Christian Democratic Party called the proposal "politically and psychologically, extraordinarily dangerous."

Whatever the speculation abroad, the Kremlin was clearly intent on creating the impression that-his vacation not-withstanding-Brezhnev was still in command. The front page of the Communist Party daily Pravda dutifully printed, under Brezhnev's signature, messages to several world leaders.

Other public figures earned his unposted scorn, including "Squirrel Head Nixon" and Senator Estes Kefauver, whom Truman called "Cow-fever." Explaining his decision to relieve General Douglas MacArthur of command during the Korean War, he mentioned the "insubordination of God's right hand man." During the 1952 campaign, the attempts of Democratic Candidate Adlai Stevenson to put some distance between himself and the President infuriated Truman. He issued and then withheld a threat to stop supporting Stevenson...
