...creation in May, 1938, the house Committee on un-American activities has been violently raked by critics of its methods. Opponents have charged, among other things, that witnesses have been handled with disrespect, and that various individuals have used the fair name of the committee for personal benefit.

They improve the soil by burrowing into it and dying. Singing crickets and fighting crickets are part of show business to the Chinese. Some insects, including locusts, ants, beetles and caterpillars, are food for some people (the Hyslop family tried...
