In the aftermath of the latest Cuban episode all sorts of rumors concerning the possible dismissal of a number of White House advisers began to circulate. Some of these rumors were traced back to newsmen who are known to have the President’s ear. The individuals mentioned were those leading Knights of the Supple Spine, Adlai Stevenson, Walt Rostow, Arthur Schlesinger and several others of the “Russia is mellowing” crowd. Now it seems that Stevenson is the main target of “Operation Stiletto” which the crueler commentators contend is being mounted in the White House.
