...talks to military personnel, and especially in the question periods which followed, Scott found widespread and intelligent interest in international problems. Some of their questions : What is the significance of the troubles of Madame Ana Pauker? How do you evaluate the work of the Voice of America?

He wore a necktie for the first time in 1948, now as boss of Bulgaria takes pains to swear his "loyalty to the last breath" to Stalin. Dimitrov, star of the Reichstag trial (1933), ex-Secretary General of the old Comintern, was the big man in Bulgaria...
