...been too good to last. For a while, after France had seized the initiative in Western Europe by putting forth the Schuman Plan, it had looked as if the volatile French had finally settled down. But last week they went on a political spree again. Even as it was playing host to the Schuman Plan conference, Premier Georges Bidault's eight-month-old government lost a vote of confidence in the Assembly, was forced to resign...
Casals' simple but masterfully eloquent performance of the six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello had moved the most undazzled of them to tears.

Taken together, all these provisions may well lead to the suppression of minority views which look to reform rather than revolution. For the bill sets forth no standards by which the prosecuting officials and the courts could fairly determine who among our people are guilty of criminal violations. We may wonder whether the standards of disloyalty in 1960 would differ substantially from those in 1950. We should ask whether individuals who hold minority views will speak...
