Eager friends of Border-Stater Clement moved in fast on behalf of their man. Clement, quietly staked out in the Stevenson camp (to the disgust of Fellow Tennessean Estes Kefauver), was generally acceptable to both North and South because of his "local-level" approach to school desegregation. Far more important than these attitudes was the fact that Boy Wonder Clement is a golden-throated political evangelist with an inexhaustible gift for fervent oratory (see box) and surefire TV appeal...
...This very human reaction, which was widely shared, was perverted into something else by some British Laborites, who deplored the Poznan uprising as a check to what they deemed to be the beneficient evolution of Communism. Laborite Richard H. S. Crossman, who flits in and out of the Bevan camp like an overgrown lightning bug, was upset that anyone outside should support those "desperate men who turned a peaceful demonstration into an armed uprising.

Word has seeped back that Ling Hsingyu, formerly a student at New York University, returned to Red China only to find himself in a labor camp. Huang Chiateh, once a professor at Shanghai's St. John's University, was put to work in a coal mine. One student was compelled to write a "thought compendium," and, for "lack of frankness," to slap himself publicly until blood ran out of his mouth. Often Red China's own propaganda betrays itself. "You people living in the other world don't understand our world," another returnee wrote to friends...
