...Dealing New York Lawyer Morris Ernst, who has defended liberal causes ranging from James Joyce's Ulysses to the Sauerkraut Workers Union, this week finished a chore with a somewhat different aroma. After ten months on the payroll of Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo, Ernst declared in a 95-page report that he had not found one scrap of evidence to link his eminent employer to the unsolved Galindez-Murphy case (TIME, April 2, 1956 et seq.). He airily dismissed as a "canard" the strong circumstantial case that leads newsmen and the FBI to a single theory: that Trujillo Critic...

Francesco burned a few of the papers and took the rest (for a small fee) to the Italian military intelligence. "I was certainly not qualified," he writes modestly, "to select the material...
...open its tenth TV season, CBS's Studio One last week tackled the difficult chore of re-enacting the event from an uneven script called The Night America Trembled. There were some arresting scenes in the broadcasting studio, where the original sound man was back at his old Mars machines, but in trying to chronicle the reaction of different types of people in different situations, Night was forced to juggle more vignettes than it could handle, rarely managed to recapture the ensuing hysteria. Bogeyman Welles, who earned himself a national sponsor for his imagination, failed even...
