Thoroughly professional Journalist Isaac Don Levine, sharp biographer of Joseph Stalin, has for years delivered such pungent judgments as, "No Government in the world is corroded by such internal abject fear as the Stalin Dictatorship." TIME repeats that his dynamic fact-marshaling has consistently been antiStalinist, which in official Moscow's view is always the chief evidence of "Trotskyism." (See Red Smoke by Isaac Don Levine-McBride, 1932, $2.) As to who first interviewed Joseph Stalin, the technically prior claims of able, Russian-speaking Yale Professor Jerome Davis and an earlier Japanese as well as a German correspondent have...

This public pillory of one company must be impelling the others to reconsider the wisdom of bossing the workmen by fear and distrust, for the cost of spies is great and the increment from their use is disastrous. If it is important that the executives know what labor is up to, better systems can be devised to find out; many factories have them already. The half million dollars a year that, for example, General Motors...
...past few years killing the umpire at every close play has taken root because of the fear of bias in umpires chosen only by the home team. If visitors at Harvard crab decisions made by Harvard umpires, the Harvard bench must rise to protect its interests. At games away, on the other hand, the team must ride the officials in order to get a fair deal. Thus, by a subtly growing process, the bench turns into a concentration camp of hatred, and the professional spirit,--that the game must be won by whatever hook or crook comes in handy,--tends...
