...Estes & Frankenstein. While the Post's thrusts against public figures it dislikes are spectacular, it has produced more significant results in the area of issues that are broader than any personality. It was the Post (long before Phil Graham's time) that first stripped the camouflage off F.D.R.'s Supreme Court packing bill and led the fight against it.

Perhaps he really has no idea that, long before Mr. Molotov's incredible announcement (on June 14, 1941) warnings of a German attack on Russia were being put out by "the forces arrayed against the Soviet Union and the Great German Reich," Indians were fighting and dying alongside British, Australian, French and other comrades to protect Egypt and the Arab world and to set Ethiopia free.
