This stance was unacceptable to the committee. Hellman offered to testify about herself, and in doing so, waived her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. She could be held in contempt for failing to answer any other questions. When she actually appeared before the committee on May 21, 1952, she compromised her position. She took the Fifth Amendment on almost every question, incriminating herself by not incriminating herself, for the sake of decency. The cleverness of her lawyer and the ineptitude of the Committee members enabled Hellman's letter to be read into the public record. One month later, when...
...seen it before, and unless you're a senior, you'll see it again. It's the Once-Every-Reading-Period Crimson Sports Lounge Baseball Quiz.

Israel is concerned that the U.S., having vetoed two previous anti-Israel Security Council resolutions, is becoming so exposed diplomatically as Jerusalem's only friend that Americans may soon question the wisdom of this role and step...
...auto-happy Californians be coaxed out of their cars? If Donald Burns' experience is any indication, the answer appears to be no. In an effort to cut down on gas consumption and air pollution, Burns, who is California's secretary of business and transportation, instituted a "disincentive" plan on March 15 aimed at frustrating Los Angeles-area motorists into leaving their cars at home. Two lanes-one in each direction-of the busy Santa Monica Freeway were marked with diamond-shaped signs and set aside for buses and cars carrying three or more people during the morning...
