That thirsting, as many of their slogans and leaders made clear, was less for the things themselves than for the kind of life where the good things could be attained. In 1959, after years of hostile Communist propaganda, spectacular Russian successes in space, threats of missiles and atomic war, the throngs of Europe, Asia and Africa cast a durable vote for freedom and liberty. The faces were turned to the U.S. and to the man who had become the nation's image in one of the grand plebiscites of history?Dwight David Eisenhower, President...
Against that abhorrent spectacle, and the memories of Hungary and other Communist conquests, the U.S. example of liberty under law, of self-restraint imposed by what Jefferson called "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind," of willingness to use strength to protect independence stood out as powerful assets. Dwight Eisenhower had been shaped by those principles?and in 1959, carrying a message of peace with freedom to three far continents, he represented them to the world as could no one else...

At first the leftist anticlerical wing in the Cabinet seemed to be having its way (TIME, Dec. 28), and would put over its proposal that churches must accept state supervision if they took the $60 million. But at the last moment, Premier Michel Debré, under pressure from the Catholic church...
...chaotic dictatorship this week celebrates its first anniversary in power. The building is not the national palace or the long-deserted Congress, but the tightly guarded headquarters of the National Institute of Agrarian Reform (INRA). Yugoslav Theoretician Milovan Djilas once observed that the first duty of any Communist revolutionary is to destroy the political force that brought him to power and replace it with an enormous, patronage-rich bureaucracy. Castro has quietly smashed his own July 26 movement, populated by moderates, and handed to INRA the goal of remaking Cuba politically and economically...
