...argue that wars would then be conducted with "conventional" weapons in the style and on the scale of World War II. Others contend that there would be open season on brush wars of Korea's size and shape, with limited use of the tactical atomic bomb. Pundit Walter Lippmann suggests that guerrilla warfare might become the only thinkable type of conflict. Another possibility: since no nation could be expected to submit to ultimate defeat through the attrition of a series of limited wars, the tendency would be for such wars to expand until the imperiled nation, in desperation, finally...
Diplomatic Rewrite. Japanese government officials rely on the Japan Times for significant international news; the dispatches from foreign embassies are often rewrites from the Japan Times. With five wire services and a battery of U.S. columnists, from Lippmann to Leonard Lyons, the paper also appeals to internationally minded Japanese citizens, who account for half its 78,935 circulation.

But where only small powers are involved, it is possible to limit if not to prevent war, provided the Big Five concur. Working through the U.N. . . . fixes the fact that...
...Post and, as he said, "made all the mistakes in the book." He went on a buying spree, snapping up expensive but unsuitable executives, trained seals, special features and the syndicated columns that were then coming into vogue. (To this day the Post runs 15 syndicated columns, from Walter Lippmann to Walter Winchell, more than any other U.S. paper, plus no fewer than 35 daily comic strips.) Once, during his purchasing zeal, Meyer noticed general gloom over the standing of the Washington Senators baseball team. He called in Sports Columnist Shirley Povich and asked what was wrong...
