Joseph W. Alsop '32, nationally known political columnist, will speak on the role of the businessman in government at the Baker Library this afternoon. The meeting, sponsored jointly by the International Relations Club and Business School Student Association, will begin...
...radio and over a thousand dinner tables. The Bulletin was flooded with long-distance calls from other papers asking for more details. Checking with state police, the Bulletin quickly found out that the story was not true. It had been printed lightheartedly the day before by a Boston columnist, was probably read by a prankster, who phoned it into the Bulletin as straight news.

Snooping on his own, Columnist Drew Pearson had reported that Schine's old junketeering gumshoe pal, McCarthy Aide Roy Cohn, called the commandant often to inquire about Schine's welfare: "The Senator wants to know."
