...suppose that it is too much to expect TIME to be fair to Adlai Stevenson; but more balanced journalism would surely have pointed out that the remarks ascribed to Governor Stevenson by Robert Boulay I June 61 correspond to nothing anyone else has ever heard Stevenson say publicly or privately. Governor Stevenson is fully and explicitly on record on the question of Ber lin. It might conceivably strain the credulity even of TIME to suppose that he would sud-denlv choose to confide to an itinerant French newspaperman views on Berlin which are incompatible with everything else he has said...

The most charitable explanation of such irresponsibility, of such presumption and such a lack of courtesy...
...Paris, Reporter Boulay, 39, gave his side of the case. He said he had taken no notes during the interview but had written them down immediately afterward. A respected reporter who speaks fluent English, his specialty is French domestic politics, but he is also an old hand in international politics and has covered every important international conference in Europe since 1949. Boulay came to the U.S. on a State Department tour, one of the conditions of which was that he publish no interviews while still in the U.S. A few days after his Stevenson visit, he told a Mansfield, Mass...
