THE WEEK

As Khrushchev and Bulganin neared the shores of England, Moscow announced that she was graciously ready to join in the settlement of the Middle Eastern crisis which she had provoked. Official Britain and America, who have so long been desperately seeking means to keep the Soviet (and before it the Russian) Empire out of that key region, bowed low in greeting. The Communist spider doesn’t need to bother luring us into his parlor. We usher him eagerly into ours.

Mr. Kefauver, the common man’s common man, was growing into a phenomenon deeply disturbing to anybody who believes in the wisdom of universal suffrage: just by demonstrating that he was not one whit better than the next guy, he seemed to be persuading people that he was fit for the Presidency. But the audience may be starting to get bored with Senator Kefauver’s hand-shaking “I’m Estes” act. In the New Jersey primary he straggled far behind Governor Meyner’s regular organization slate. Lincoln may have been right, at that, about fooling all the people.
