...Committee (TIME, Aug. 21) blaming Administration "blunders" for the U.S.'s hasty postwar demobilization, for "failing to recognize the true aims and methods" of Soviet Russia, for giving the Kremlin "a green light to grab whatever it could in China, Korea and Formosa." Snapped Democrat Tom Connally: "A document of complaint and quarrelsomeness." Added Connecticut's Brien McMahon: "These masters of hindsight seek to cut themselves in on the victories of our foreign policy and to divorce themselves from our defeats . . . The record shows that more than one-half of the Republican party has vigorously opposed ... the Greek...
Somewhere in the growing archives of the Council of Europe rests a document which only the younger historians of today may have a chance to evaluate.

The Navajos hired an archaeologist to help document their claim of approximately $10 million for 20,000 square miles in the Southwest...

And after four months of wild charges and black headlines, Joe McCarthy had yet to document a single card-carrying Communist in the State Department, let alone the 57, 81 or 205 he had promised to prove. Without even waiting to see the Tydings report, McCarthy announced that it would be "a disgrace to the Senate." Unfortunately for him, however, there were other headlines being made these days...
