...question had come up while Committee Counsel Adrian DeWind was ferreting through the financial records of Henry ("The Dutchman") Grunewald, the mysterious, too-sick-to-testify Washington influence man who keeps popping up in stories of tax influence peddling (TIME, Dec. 17 et seq.). In Grunewald's records, Counsel DeWind had found a $10,000 deposit and five other deposits totaling $16,500, identified by the symbol "Br." Grunewald's tax consultant explained that "Br" was Owen Brewster...
...flurry of feathers and screeching again issued from the gilded cage of Hollywood's scrappiest lovebirds, Franchot Tone, 47, and Barbara Payton, 25 (TIME, Sept. 24 et seq.).

Now Nam simply proposed that a high-level political conference be held, within three months of signing the armistice, "by representatives appointed respectively to settle . . . the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Korea, a peaceful settlement of the Korean question, et cetera...
Chief U.N. Negotiator Vice Admiral Charles Turner Joy took a hard look at the text of Nam's proposal. He has learned to be as skeptical of Nam plausible as of Nam bellicose. In brevity and tone the Nam proposal was businesslike, but the little phrase "et cetera" could hide a mess of Communist chicanery. Admiral Joy decided that he would buy Nam's 79-word proposal-if his interpretation of it was correct. Was he right in thinking that the appointed "representatives" would include the Republic of South Korea? (Yes, said Nam.) Would the "foreign forces...
