Whenever the President had to speak up at the Geneva conference, as Khrushchev told it, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who was seated at Ike's right, would hand him a note telling him what to say. "The President should at least, for the sake of appearances, have turned aside and glanced through the note before reading it to the meeting. But instead, he would just take it and read it off. We could not help wondering, comrades and gentlemen, who was running the country. Such a President can make God knows what kind of decisions...
...through the predawn hours, the mob squatted on the tracks, stopped 650 trains, and hustled the motormen away in taxis, consoling each captive with a 1,000-yen note ($2.80), which a Sohyo organizer peeled from a thick wad of bills in his hand. With traffic effectively halted, mobs snake-danced through the streets, paraded past the Diet and the U.S. embassy, shouting "Down with Kishi" and "Eisenhower don't come." Ranging from Communists to Kabuki actors,* the mob included one group whose banner bore a likeness of Christ; true to the left-wing bias common among students...
Dorticós, the indefatigable tourist, was unmoved. Everywhere he went he got in a little anti-U.S. propaganda. This led to Washington's angriest note so far to Fidel Castro's Cuba.

As history may one day note, it was at an Ithaca, N.Y. cocktail party that one of the most significant early steps toward success was taken...
...Government can give him-but as of this week, that has been very little. The State Department has made four attempts. On May 6, the day Khrushchev announced that a U.S. plane had been shot down. the U.S. embassy in Moscow delivered to the Soviet Foreign Ministry a note asking for details about both plane and pilot. No answer. On May 10, after Khrushchev announced that Powers was alive, another note asked permission to see him. Again no answer. Twice since then, the U.S. embassy has renewed the U.S. request to see Powers. Still no answer...
