...those who voiced opposition to disengagement from Korea at the same time affirmed their belief in this broad interventionist spirit, which can best be expressed as an acceptance of the premise that the U.S. should intervene whenever it is necessary to "set things right," especially if it means containing Communism. Modigliani adds: "Though this belief often sanctions benign programs such as economic aid, it would be a mistake to view it as an idealistic sort of internationalism that desires to increase mutual understanding...it is rather more antagonistic in tone..." The international interventionist position had a higher correlation with disengagement...
...Digest's concern goes far beyond medicine, but it somehow sees the world in related terms. Various cancers and infections are represented by Communism, bureaucrats, radicals and the welfare state; the healing antibodies are the traditional American virtues and verities. Perhaps it is the magazine's sanguine postulate that man can manage his destiny that has made it so resoundingly popular. Brevity, of course, is its other asset. Its assumption that even War and Peace could be cut to a few hours' reading brought sneers from the sophisticated, but the formula has proved useful and durable...
...been something of a terror to the American Right for 30 years. A short, thick-voiced, quick-tempered woman, she left Soviet Russia in 1923, made her way to California, found bit roles in movies, married, and began to teach herself to write.

Second, they have scattered their resources on a lot of different topics--Cuba, the wage and price freeze, taxes, etc.--and they would get much further by concentrating on a single issue. Third, the organization's strong anti-communism is negative and distracting from the central issue of individual freedom. Finally, by taking a hard-line anti-communist stance, they make themselves apologists for the army, the FBI, superpatriotism, etc., alienating potential supporters...
...parties which have traditionally dominated Uruguayan politics. Maybe next time. Minimizing their differences, which are small to begin with, the Colorados and Blancos joined forces against the Front in a campaign that played upon the traditionally conservative Uruguayan voter's reluctance to experiment, his deep-seated fear of Communism and his distaste for the Chilean experience. Thus the Front's hopes for a truly stupendous first showing were disappointed. In Montevideo, where the Front had fully expected to win big, its candidate ran a poor second to the Colorados. Nationwide the Front polled a respectable but unspectacular...
