...make a move without first consulting his Western allies, particularly the U.S. Nor would he go to Moscow himself until the offer had been explored in lower-level talks and an agenda fixed. Such preparations, he said, preclude a journey to Moscow until after the parley at the summit. Said one Christian Democratic Deputy admiringly: "A cooing dove on the rooftop won't make the Chancellor give up the sparrow he's got in the hand." Said President Eisenhower: "We have the utmost faith and confidence in him, and we know one thing-he will stand...
...High in the Himalayas above the Nepal-Sikkim border, members of an expedition led by Britain's Dr. Charles Evans (a veteran of the Hunt-Hillary climb) remembered their manners and halted a few feet from the summit (28,146 ft.) of Mt.

Obviously he was irritated at the way Eden & Co. had reversed themselves and grabbed at his "parley at the summit" policy the instant he retired. But Sir Winston was too good a party man to let personal pique last the whole campaign. He tore into Labor "with all its paraphernalia of restrictions and regulations . . .," lauded Sir Anthony as "a statesman long versed in parliamentary and cabinet government," and urged Britons to give him "generous...
