Trouble started last April when the Overseas Weekly mounted an all-out assault on General Walker, charged that by pamphlet and speech he was indoctrinating his troops with the far-right politics of the John Birch Society. Walker, the paper reported, had made public statements to the effect that Edward R. Murrow and Columnist Walter Lippmann were "confirmed Communists" and that 60% of the U.S. press was Communist controlled. As a result of the story. General Walker was relieved of his command. Walker has sued an Overseas Weekly reporter for slander-and Marion Rospach has sued the general for slander...
...planes himself. (He still grabs the controls of a jet whenever he can.) In 1948 he returned to the U.S. to take command of the Strategic Air Command-the force of nuclear-armed intercontinental bombers that was, and in operational terms remains, the nation's most effective deterrent against all-out atomic...
Stocks & Surprise. Patterson was an all-out isolationist before World War II, and his paper ran little foreign news until the start of the war.

And no matter which way they drive, tourists will inevitably meet up with animals. Motoring out of Nairobi in a hired car recently, two U.S. schoolmarms spied a lion sprawled...
Relations with the police are admittedly worse than usual this spring--largely because of the "Stillwell affair." During the winter, a Pembroke student, Stephanie Stillwell, was stabbed and severly wounded near the college. In an all-out attempt to catch the as yet unapprehended criminal, Providence Police have concentrated an unusually large number of men in the Brown area. Naturally, every time there is a minor student demonstration enough policemen arrive at the scene to turn it into a major problem...
