...Tips from Santa Claus. While London's more mannered newspapers either ignored Heuss editorially or muffled their welcome, Cassandra, the acid-veined columnist of the tabloid Daily Mirror (circ. 4.6 million), let fly: "Heuss has been marketed over here as a gentle, learned Santa Claus utterly removed from the Krupps, the Thyssens, the Schachts, and all the other industrialists and scientists without whose enthusiastic cooperation World War II would never have been possible . . .

As the storm of censure mounted, the greatest cry was appropriately against the money-hungry doctor rather than the story-hungry press.
