...Dulles' policies of 'massive retaliation,' 'liberation,' 'positive loyalty,' 'agonizing reappraisal' and 'united action.' It was the press that was pointing to the effects of Senator McCarthy's tactics on the Administration's authority . . . "Have Walter Lippmann, or Joseph Alsop, who write for a syndicate owned by a Republican newspaper, commented on this Administration's foreign policy with 'tender solicitude'? Has the New York Times or the New York Herald Tribune or the Washington Post and Times Herald, all of whom supported the election...

Another classmate, the late journalist Heywood Broun was able to quip later that he himself became a Communist because he went to see the Boston Red Sox play instead of listening to his economic's professor's lecture refuting Marx.

Since most of Jackson's leading businessmen own stock, the State Times had no trouble filling its first issue with ads. But the opposition Clarion-Ledger (circ...
Part of The Public Philosophy is standard Walter Lippmann. He has written this new book in his usual scholar's style, which means that it will reach only a very small percentage of the people who, he believes, are in such dire need of knowledge. But the basic tone of The Public Philosophy is new. In his day Lippmann has been a champion of the New Deal's invented and chosen theories, a writer admittedly guided often by "hastily improvised generalizations." Never before has he shown such firm and specific regard for the natural law and for basic...
