Irving H. Saypol, a stocky New Yorker with a firm chin, is now the nation's No. 1 legal hunter of top Communists. He helped Tom Murphy prosecute Alger Hiss, collaborated in the trial of the top eleven Communists and-after becoming U.S. Attorney in New York last year-convicted William Remington and Atom. Spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Last week Prosecutor Saypol was busy as a sheepdog. He was trying to keep a handful of second-string Communists within the law's purview, to make sure that they are still on hand when it comes time...

Solomon (loth Century B.C.) is presented as a sort of Old Testament Sammy Click with chin whiskers, a tough little opportunist who elbows his way into the big money, marries a glamour girl (Khate, an Egyptian princess), and hires a frustrated poet to ghost his copy-even, it would seem, such copy as the Book of Proverbs...
