The New York Times, which had scored the jury trial amendment a few days before, urged the Senate to pass the weak bill as the best possible. So did ardently pro-Ike New York Herald Tribune Columnist Roscoe Drummond. So did the civil-righteous Washington Post and Times Herald: famed Post Cartoonist Herbert Block (Herblock), who is forever lampooning Eisenhower for indecisiveness, did an astonishing turnabout to sketch an impulsive Ike pointing a revolver at a fair Miss Civil Rights...

Largely because the five are led by a man so tough and tight-lipped that he would make Bulldog Drummond seem like a pacifist balletomane, they pull off this miraculous stunt. The superman is Captain Keith Mallory, a New Zealand mountaineer, "idol of the cragsmen," hero of legendary exploits in the Cretan resistance...
