...flourished with trouble too. Students, probably encouraged by Japanese-educated faculty members, began to agitate for the return of the islands to Japan. Some students supported the Communist-front Okinawa People's Party, sent a party spokesman to Tokyo to complain of U.S. seizure of Okinawan farmlands. Anti-American articles sprouted forth in the university's literary magazine. Last month 250 students staged anti-American demonstrations, shouting "Yankees go home...
...little English, and an intimate knowledge of jazz; he owns a phenomenal 40,000 records, and draws from his collections for the Voice show. In most parts of the world, jazz is a kind of Esperanto to the young generation from 15 to 25, and even countries with boiling anti-American prejudices enjoy and respond to it. In Communist-dominated centers, jazz was a more or less secret pleasure for years -the commissars labeled it capitalist depravity-but it is now permitted openly and apparently without prejudice...

Any day that we have to judge American books ay this one criterion-whether they will be read with "great glee by anti-Americans"-will be a sad day for American books, and for America...
...Pink Was My Pally. Most intolerable to Mr. Hamish Gleave are the Americans-the eager-beaver young men from the State Department, who do not wear waistcoats, who take security leaks so seriously, and whose typists earn more than he does. If Novelist Llewellyn is to be believed, the anti-American feeling runs like a psychosis through much of the Foreign Office. Better, thinks Gleave, the Russians than the Yanks with their "sample cases and cigars." Better the naked power of the Soviet, which does not make him bitter about his frayed cuffs...
