Last winter Columnist O'Brien made news by declaring that if his boss were elected President, he would of necessity follow the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt once he got inside the White House (TIME, Dec. 2). Publisher Knox, then a good-natured candidate for the GOP nomination, was supposed to have been highly amused at this piece of intramural impertinence, let O'Brien...
