...assassinated by Greek Communists. 35. Other evidence that the U.S. would move swiftly toward democratic reconstruction was the agreement among Marshall, Bevin and Bidault to give France...
...Palestine terrorists whom Ben Hecht admires lack the atomic bomb. However, the scientifically inclined among them have been working on a person-to-person substitute which may have a great and grisly future. Last week they sent exploding cream-colored envelopes to Ernie Bevin, Anthony Eden and other prominent Britons. Nobody was hurt-largely because of the British Government's long experience with unfriendly mail. But the packet was ingenious.

...line-up for the next world war, will cooperate with the U.S. only on specific issues "where there is a clear common interest." Winston Churchill, obviously the Knave of Clubs in the deck, "wants a permanent alliance with America against what he sees as a permanent political danger." Ernie Bevin, the King of Hearts, "wants as close an association with Russia as we have now with America...
