...lake bed dry. But in either case, says Toynbee, she will only transform her lake into a road and let in the "landlubber dry-shod." Roughly translated into the different, present-day situation (in which the West is very far from being "at bay"), the Zealots might advocate stringent repression of all hostile ideas, as well as dropping a few atomic bombs on Russia; the Herodians would favor gradual appeasement. Toynbee would consider both parties an "unmerciful pair of pedants." Both courses would in the end aid the Communists: appeasement obviously by strengthening them, internal repression and atomic war with...
...Should stringent restrictions be placed on newspaper coverage of court trials? Many a lawyer thinks so and strict codes for covering trials have even been proposed (TIME, July 12). But last week in Washington, before the Federal Bar Association, Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. vigorously denied that newspapers should be hamstrung in their trial coverage.

Has since turned down all Cabinet offers because he disapproved of the long succession of patchwork coalitions designed to do as little as possible to offend as few as possible of France's variegated factions. "You cannot cauterize a wooden leg," said Mendès-France contemptuously...
...tariffs is the bitter resentment generated in foreign nations unable to sell their goods here. Restrictions against exporters in Italy, for example, have increased the strength of anti-American groups in that country. Other North Atlantic allies have voiced their dissatisfaction in sharp denunciations of the U. S.'s stringent tariff barriers. As Canada's Prime Minister warned, "We don't want to see the kind of will develop which (U. S.) tariffs inevitably create." So while time and dollars are spent to win friends abroad, the United States is helping defeat its own program by retaining a high tariff...
