Congratulations to TIME [July 26] from Joshua Podro and myself on a splendidly clean scythe sweep or hatchet job [on The Nazarene Gospel Restored]. Your reviewer has kept well within the statutory limits of fair comment . . . But, on the theory that TIME brings all things, we miss your timely congratulations on our tactical successes. Amateur Scholar Joshua Podro has somehow contrived to satisfy real Jewish scholars of the highest professional standing that he has an enviably deep knowledge of the purely Aramaic setting of the Gospel story. Nor has "Crank" Robert Graves yet been caught out in any historical blunder...
...week the special committee whose job it is to decide whether the Senate should censure McCarthy met under the chairmanship of Utah's Senator Arthur Vivian Watkins. Before it. or at least available to it, was more evidence about McCarthy than any man could read in a lifetime. Fair or foul, McCarthy's record is written plain in transcript upon tons of transcript.

But as its radicalism in creased, a movement which reached its peak under President Truman and the Fair Deal, many Southerners returned to the more moderate political philosophy of the Wilson Administration. The recent primaries in North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas gave superficial evidence, at least, that the immunity of the Southern conservatives may soon be a thing of the past...
...coffee tables and to restock their mental shelves. In The Golden Horizon, Connolly picks a scant 600 pages to represent the original 10,000. The result suggests that Horizon often held a monocle rather than a mirror up to nature. But caught in its faintly supercilious eye is a fair share of minor modern masterpieces...
