...critical interests on the line in a dozen swiftly moving areas: in the Middle East, Tunisia, Indonesia (see FOREIGN NEWS), in the drift toward an international summit conference, in the critical Stateside problems of defense and Pentagon reorganization, and especially in the deepening recession. To cope with these problems there were plenty of plans and policies. Conspicuously absent was a badly needed feeling of presence-specifically, the presence of the President of the U.S. at his desk, giving attention to the daily details that make long-range plans and policies work...

The remark had a prophetic ring: under subtle pressures of opinion at home and abroad, the U.S. seemed to be drifting inexorably toward a summit meeting without either wanting one or doing much to counter the pressures...
There is a definite hierarchy among the clubs at Princeton which is universally acknowledged, though the caste structure obviously implied by it is widely denied to exist.

At once U.S. Congressmen and editorial writers began to rally around Dulles with a rare show of strength that fortified the whole U.S. position...
...House disposed of Bulganin's latest letter with a request for "further clarification." The State Department, addressing itself to the much-discussed let's-neutralize-Central-Europe proposals of Poland's Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki-since endorsed by the Kremlin as a suitable topic for the summit-warned all U.S. diplomatic missions overseas that such a plan is "extremely dangerous." Added the President at his press conference, in a definitive statement of policy on such neutralize-Europe agreements...
