Many are the refugees who stream across to West Berlin to freedom, and Communist East Germany's general reaction is good riddance. But Kantorowicz's broadcast seemed to bother the Communists very much. Seven tame literary idols, among them Anna (The Seventh Cross) Seghers, were trotted out to condemn their comrade's "stab in the back." Nonsense, retorted Kantor easily, "most of those writers feel the same...
...spite of one Ku Klux Klan cross-burning a few miles outside of town, Charlotte, N.C. (pop. 158,800) quietly accepted the news that four Negroes will be distributed through the two junior and two senior high schools.

...School ('33), first went to work as a $150-a-month store-to-store salesman for Procter & Gamble in Kansas City, trying to interest people in soap in a Depression year when many could barely buy food. He did so well that P. & G. sent him on a cross-country tour. After six months of driving up and down country roads, Morgens reported to his surprised bosses that their first job was to sell people on cleanliness, then soap. Morgens set up the company's first inside copy section to get away from flossy ads, keep themes basic...
