...this country, Matthews came in for a disproportionate share of the retrospective blame. The National Review carried what he himself admits is a clever cartoon, showing a happy Castro saying "I got my job through the New York Times." The attack on Matthews was far from humorous, however. The Eastland-Dodd Committee questioned his failure to warn of the Communist potential in Castro's movement. The author's primary concern, therefore, is self-defense, and he argues passionately, if not eloquently, that truth in a Revolutionary situation is not absolute but relative to the shifting logic of the Revolution...
Then one of the first appointments was announced, and, not by chance, it went to a good friend of Mississippi's Senator James Eastland, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which passes on all new judges. William Harold Cox, who roomed with Eastland at the University of Mississippi law school nearly 40 years ago, has a solid legal background in Jackson, has occasionally served as a circuit judge and has not publicly committed himself on touchy civil rights issues. Yet, just as if a button had been pushed, the N.A.A.C.P. began protesting...
Then, with Eastland taken care of, it remained for the Administration to satisfy House Judiciary Committee Chairman Emanuel Celler-and Celler might well take a good deal of satisfying.

Trujillo spent millions on self-glorifying publicity (hiring such U.S. agents as F.D.R.'s Attorney General Homer Cummings and F.D.R. Jr. himself), and won such influential champions as U.S. Democratic Senators James O. Eastland and Allen Ellender, who once said, "I wish there were a Trujillo in every country of South and Central America." Other apologists, ignoring Trujillo's terror, pointed to the Dominican Republic's sharply improved per-capita yearly income ($225, about average for Latin America). But the average...
...swing to the suburbs that drove Hudson's to Northland and Eastland has prompted the company to plan two twelve-story office buildings, a luxury motel and a vast apartment community on the land it owns adjacent to Northland. Still another Hudson's shopping center-Westland-is in the works, and there are signs that under its young, new boss, Hudson's may move even farther afield. Fortnight ago, J. L. Jr. announced plans to open a budget store outside Pontiac, 30 miles from Detroit. If the customers come, Hudson stores may ultimately spring up all over...
