...Fascism is destroyed, but in its ruins there is rapidly rising a dictatorship of the left. This is being advertised in advance as a democratic revolution by the people and the popular forces with the promise of freedom and a better life. It is not that. But factual descriptions of the current repressions and restrictions in such places as Yugoslavia may be literally accurate and yet be without any real perception of the why & wherefore. There is a case for the Partisans of this world, in Yugoslavia and elsewhere, even though they are grim, smelly folk who eat with their...
...this week's long and factual report Fred Vinson did some thinking beyond V-J day, about the future of the U.S. in general.

Since 1938, an Orinocan stream of distinguished Latin American visitors has debouched into the U.S. The U.S. Government pays their expenses, shows them the sights (chiefly industrial), crams them with information (chiefly factual). Guided by aseptic civil servants, the visitors trudge through endless factories, offices, universities, laboratories, museums; are dined, wined and lectured at official luncheons, dinners, cocktail parties...
