...admiration of "the brilliance of Khrushchev's performance in the use of nuclear diplomacy." But Lerner was fearful just the same: "The still unanswered question is whether there is not a demon driving Khrushchev and world communism which will not stop because it cannot." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Marquis Childs wondered if the "world will survive," pinned his personal hopes on the U.S.'s new disarmament agency-a small-bore institution ($10,000,000 to work with) as yet unborn. Chronically gloomy Joe Alsop warned his readers to face the unpalatable truth: "For the first...
...puts college students who are thinking of working for the company after graduation through a summer game in which each player "runs" an imaginary plant producing "synthetic granules and bulk-oil food products."

Even the conscience of the primitive right, the National Review exudes professional slickness. Surely liberal Republicanism deserves as much. It is a creed that puzzles me, but it appeals to many, and probably it is good...
Kudos for the story on the Post-Dispatch's Bill Mauldin [July 21]. Although never known for its adaptability to new ideas, the Midwest can be proud of Dan Fitzpatrick's equally corrosive successor. Mauldin gives fair promise of adhering to Joseph Pulitzer's platform: "Always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties...
