...Government had the ace of trumps up its sleeve. When Premier General Nobuyuki Abe assembled a new Cabinet month ago, he reserved the portfolio of foreign affairs for himself "for the time being." Last week he named as Foreign Minister one of the best Japanese friends of the U. S., Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura. As a student at Annapolis and as naval attache in Washington, he acquainted himself with U. S. naval strategy and Franklin Roosevelt (when he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy). A remarkably huge Japanese-six feet tall and nearly 200 pounds-he lost an eye fighting...
Coordinator of NBC's system of full-time big-shot press correspondents in key capitals and comment from guest correspondents and political bigwigs is capable ex-Worldman Abe Schechter.

...clutches of an equally slick radical, and wind up with his party's nomination (tantamount to election) to the U. S. Senate. In vanquishing un-American influences from rich and poor, Lem has to knock a few heads together, but mainly he relies on talk. If Abe Lincoln had been half the man Lem Schofield was, it is plain that the U. S. would never have fought a Civil...
