Plewman is Canada's only first-rate public military analyst. His integrity is a legend in Canada. Born in Bristol, England, son of a Methodist leatherworker, Plewman emigrated to the Dominion with his family when he was eight, in school and church set a long-standing record for juvenile deportment. Not long after he went to work as a reporter, he stood for vice president of the Toronto Press Club, put up posters reading: "Plewman for Vice." Up went placards by his rival: "What does Plew man know about vice?" He was defeated...
...contention is that a comprehensive job of radio propaganda analysis requires listener, analyst, and editor all in the same person. . . .

...analyst, casting up accounts in U. S. politics, can afford to ignore the fact that seven of the last 14 men in the White House came from Ohio. Many Washington wiseacres underestimate Bob Taft, are constantly surprised when he shows up on top in political scrimmages. What such wisemen do not realize is the depth, solidity and range of Bob Taft's political machine-shop background. As speaker of the Ohio Legislature's House, as a State Senator, as a precinct worker all the way up from doorbell-pulling, he long since graduated from one of the toughest...
