...years ago police surprised him in his apartment with a lush blonde (he later married her) and began to snoop through his address books. They charged him with procuring. The first Jelke conviction (TIME, March 9, 1953) was reversed, not because the appellate court found any fault with the verdict but because Judge Francis L. Valente, trying to avoid press exploitation of the gamy details, had barred reporters and the public from the trial. The new trial was wide open. Once more Judge Valente was on the bench, and Call Girl Pat Ward, only 21, retold her sordid idyl...
...wing, isolationist Tribune viewed the New Dealing Post-Dispatch as a political enemy. But actually, the journalistic ingredients they had in common were more important than those that set them apart. Both the Tribune and the P-D-each in its own way-chose to be independent to a fault. The Trib rarely went along with any political party (see below), while the P-D's editorial support swung from Franklin D.

If it has failed, it is not the fault of Housemaster Ronald M. Ferry or his able, energetic Senior Tutor, Daniel S. Cheever. For Ferry has attempted to adhere closely to the original concept of the House system...
...Russian power in the Western Pacific. Behind Churchill's back, Roosevelt offered Stalin participation in a Korean trusteeship from which Roosevelt proposed to exclude Britain; Stalin disdained the bait. Behind Chiang Kai-shek's back, Roosevelt gave Stalin his view of China's internal strife: "The fault lay more with the Kuomintang [Chiang's party] . . . than with the so-called Communists." Stalin did not argue. If this was Roosevelt's view, then world Communism would know how the U.S. stood when the Red Axis began to destroy Chiang with the concessions in Manchuria that Roosevelt...
