Several such blatant examples of inequity were corrected only after embarassing public protest. The Air Force removed Lt. Milo Radulovitch as a reserve officer because his sister was a Communist, and the Navy Department suspended a cartographer, Abraham Chasanow, on the basis of derogatory rumors that were proved baseless. Chasanow's case illustrated the injustice to government employees caused by the operations of the Eisenhower program. Under severe economic and financial hardship during his 13-month suspension, Chasanow was denied an opportunity to confront the witnesses who had testified against...
...successful. Jacquelyn Zollo was disappointing as Teresa. She lacked the spontaneous, gay, zestful spirit that the young girl should bring into the convent to contrast with the cool resignation of the nuns. In her interpretation of the role, lines and actions that should have seemed perfectly natural appeared as blatant overacting. No one, for example, could envision her climbing a tree, as Teresa is supposed to have done. Miss Zollo's uninteresting performance unfortunately made the second act much less successful than the first--made it, in fact, quite dull in spots...

Not only had Alabama completely segregated itself from victory on the football field-it also needed new talent to replace its graduating 1956 Southeastern Conference basketball champions. Blatant signs of unrest such as this were certain to hurt the university's high-pressure recruiting campaign...
...campaign is equally far from the President's opposition to smear and slander. At one point, Eisenhower went so far as to say that he hoped the Communists-in-Government issue would not be an issue in the 1954 campaign. Yet Nixon's whole speaking tour was a blatant effort to pin the Red Shirt on the Democrats and show that the Eisenhower Administration had "kicked the Communists out of Government not by the hundreds, but by the thousands." Nixon also revealed that when he came to power in 1953, he "found in the files a blue print for socializing...
