...ludicrous that the President and his Administration still hold dear the bugaboo of Communism to perpetuate our ridiculous role of the world's policemen! I refuse to allow my sympathy to be aroused by the sadly gory pictures in TIME, but remember instead the pictures of our American servicemen who lost their lives in the war we never should have fought in Viet...
...university level, farm subsidies and home loans. It also puts up as much as 50% of the capital for a new factory, then consigns its share to the plant's employees.

Moreover, the U.S. has learned that not all anti-Communist governments are favorable to its interest, and not all Communist governments necessarily unfavorable. Communism has evolved into a variety of different models, and the U.S. will have to live with many of them. In many cases, Communism is seen by people as a means to social and economic justice or as an expression of nationalism-a factor the U.S. cannot ignore. On the other hand, the U.S. must...
