Among the latest batch of publications was a sleeper: a special issue of the Chinese Medical Journal, now subtitled "the official organ of the Chinese Medical Association." Printed in English in Peking, the special issue is nothing but an assemblage of the Communist charges that the U.S. Air Force has waged germ warfare against North Korea and China. But this time, in an effort to camouflage their propaganda as "science," the Reds have persuaded five Western scientists to endorse their germ-war "evidence."The endorsement made a striking example of how five experts, each of high repute...
Fawcett arrived in 1906, toward the end of the great rubber boom, when "every ton of rubber gathered cost a human life."

The War Office was convinced that "the return to normal surroundings will give them a more balanced view...
...oppose automatic dismissal of Communists because we have any sympathy for Communists or their police state ideas. And since no Communist deserves permanent tenure in the future, the entire issue should fade away with the current batch of tenured professors. The risks involved in keeping a known and non-disciplined Communist are much smaller than those implicit in breaking the tenure code because of a lawful though stupid political affiliation. Because breaking tenure rules in even one unjustified instance is like drilling a hole in a dike, a Communist should have as much of a chance as anyone else...
