...offices by worried citizens, the swift collapse of the summit meeting brought an outbreak of name calling and blame hurling by worked-up politicians. Illinois' rumpled Senate Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen charged that Adlai Stevenson had "torpedoed" the summit by advocating U.S. concessions in a pre-summit interview with a French reporter (see PRESS). Pennsylvania's Republican Senator Hugh Scott followed up by accusing Stevenson and Presidential Candidate Jack Kennedy of "gross suspicion of appeasement...
...excitement was caused by a story printed by Paris-Presse-L'Intransigeant on the same day that Khrushchev arrived in Paris for the conference. In an interview with French Reporter Robert Boulay, who talked to Stevenson last April 16 at Libertyville, 111., Stevenson was quoted as recommending Western concessions on Berlin, reduction of U.S. armed forces in Germany, and a willingness to use the Rapacki Plan (which the U.S. opposes) as a basis for gradual withdrawal from Europe of both Russian and NATO troops. An argumentative interviewer ("Your answer surprises me"), Boulay wrote what he said was an accurate...
...provide invaluable material for the story. In 1943, at the Russian village of Tchlymskaia, Blunden met Malinovsky just as the Russian officer was completing the southern arc of the historic encirclement of German forces outside Stalingrad.

Desperately, Johnson tried to keep the party peace ("This is definitely a time for America to unite"), but a partisan murmuration had already begun. Leading the rebel yell was Johnson's own majority whip, Montana's Mike Mansfield, who predicted a congressional investigation. "At the proper time," Mansfield promised, "we shall find out what lies beneath the confusing zigzags of official pronouncements of the past fortnight...
Time for a Trial. All this was passed by Moscow's censors after only brief dithering. But it was a full 20 hours before the censors finally got the word to release the rest of Nikita's intemperate ramblings. Ridiculing the U.S. request for an interview with Powers, Khrushchev said flatly: "We shall try him ... try him severely, as a spy." When he recalled Herter's cool assertion that U.S. reconnaissance flights would be justified as long as Soviet secrecy continued, Nikita shook his fist and cried: "Impudence! Sheer impudence! There was a time-I remember...
