...secret is it that the London Times, stuffiest of all London dailies, not only represents the official opinion of the British Government but prepares many of its leading editorials with Government and Palace assistance. Seldom is that fact as frankly admitted as it was last week. Following the blunt announcement of Nazi Foreign Minister Constantin von Neurath at Stuttgart fortnight ago, interpreted abroad to mean that the German Government would soon ask diplomatic immunity for three "cultural attaches" to take the place of the three newspaper men recently ousted from Britain as Nazi agents (TIME...

Usual procedure in such cases is for SEC to hand over its material to the Department of Justice...
...Eliot Permitted to meet the 350-year-old ghost of Sir Philip Sidney, most moderns would aim chiefly at finding out: 1) how in his own lifetime that Elizabethan poet-statesman-soldier acquired his extraordinary fame, and 2) why. despite the fact that his prose (Arcadia, Defence of Poesie) and poetry (Astrophel and Stella) are today practically unread and unreadable, and his career no more interesting than that of half a dozen forgotten contemporaries, the aura of that fame has clung intact to his name ever since. Biographers have carefully recorded the facts of his career (better documented, less clouded...
