Plus: the hunt for “extremists” in the military; the environmental disaster at the southern border; and the death of an influential televangelist. Seventy years ago today,  President Dwight D. Eisenhower rebuts critics of his Cold War foreign policy in a speech insisting on America’s commitment to a worldwide battle against commu nism . Enjoy the weekend.
