Throughout your Tom Mooney account (TIME, March 21) you imply that there is a studied, histrionic quality in his behavior (apparently confusing Mooney with Muni). In the penultimate paragraph you dispense with implications and make the blatant statement that "Mooney ended ... as usual with a burst of tears, finally recovered enough presence of mind to pose," etc. Does this mean that a man who has not the tact, or art, to conceal his emotion on his respite from prison cannot seriously be considered a victim of injustice...

It was estimated that the crowd grew at last to 20,000, shouting "Chamberlain must go!" and "Ribbentrop get out!", yet this mob was expertly "handled" by only 800 police.
