...editors who had dared to criticize the Soviet Union. Scolding the editor of Trybuna Ludu, the main party newspaper, for expressing "adventurous private opinions," Gomulka sent him off to a minor party job in the provinces, took the resignations of eight staff members, and appointed as new editor a party hack who had run the newspaper during the years Gomulka was in jail. A magazine was confiscated, and its editor fired, when it reprinted an angry article on Stalinism by French ex-Fellow Traveler Jean-Paul Sartre. An iron censorship was imposed on the bright reformist weeklies. Said one ex...
Last week, back in Moscow, fledgling Foreign Minister Shepilov had little to show for his trip and instead preferred to talk of the "urgency" of "what one calls 'normalization' or what I would call 'rapprochement' between the United States and the U.S.S.R." But the ex-editor of Pravda soon showed that he had never been much of a newspaperman himself. "The U.S. press and radio," he said, "is still a Niagara of all sorts of lies and slanders.

...Ambitions. As the newly merged Liberal-Democratic Party held its first meeting last week, the talk was that Kishi had definitely settled on his candidate for new Prime Minister. He is Taketora (literally, Bamboo Tiger) Ogata, 67, ex-editor of Asahi, Japan's leading daily, and Deputy Prime Minister in the late Yoshida regime. Ogata is a stocky, round-faced man whose baggy eyes sometimes suggest a Buddha on a bender. His past includes several incidents of personal courage against Japanese militarists before the war. With Nobusuke Kishi behind him, Ogata is the front-runner for leadership...
...Liberté movement (TIME, Nov. 13, 1950). After the heavy blow to Italian democracy in the 1953 elections, Sogno returned to Rome and started an anti-Communist monthly called Pace e Libertà. For his editor Sogno chose a formidable man: square-jawed Luigi Cavallo, an ex-Communist and ex-editor of the Red daily L'Unità. To dish the dirt on the Reds, Cavallo drew on extensive files, a long memory and sources inside the party...
