Ulam agrees with Hoffmann that the prominent politicians are unable to "say any more than they could on T.V." when they appear at Harvard as public speakers. It would be much better to concentrate on the less prominent figures who could describe the pressures that affect their posture. But even here he is pessimistic about the possibilities: "There are very few men who can express themselves well enough to aptly describe the political process," he said...
...Your review of the book on Chambers and Hiss [Feb. 10] is, TIME-wise, strangely unruffled. You appear to rest your case on the tushery that dead men shouldn't be slandered, ho hum, as if TIME had grown big and strong on Confucianist milk. Why not work over a dead man-if that is what he deserves from a history he malevolently affected? Surely the point is that the author of this filthy act of vampirism deserves the contempt not only of those who would speak no evil of the dead, but of those who applaud such lonely...
...that Russian missile bases were abuilding in Cuba. Even more mysterious to most Americans than CIA itself is its director, Richard McGarrah Helms, 53, an intense, controlled, self-effacing professional who holds one of the most delicate and crucial posts in official Washington-and whose name has yet to appear in Who's Who in America.

It was no surprise at all that Corinne Huff, the former beauty queen now high on Powell's congressional payroll and social schedule, failed to appear in response to a subpoena. Other witnesses during the last two days of the hearings merely added details to support earlier charges of hanky-panky with the travel expenses of the House Education and Labor Committee while Powell headed it. But, said Celler, "we have enough." This week the committee...
Furthermore, in Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, "we have the hump of sexual guilt he carries on his back (he is a different porter now), a hint of the ape, and more than a hint of the insect." To the straightforward reader, it may appear that the explanation only compounds the problem, especially when Burgess points out that the French for "earwig" is perce-oreille, which "can be Hibernicized into Persse O'Reilly," a name appropriate to H. C. Earwicker's dream career as an Irish patriot. His initials also mean "Here Comes Everybody" (turning the sleeper into Everyman...
