Last week Murrow returned to the fray. After announcing that McCarthy had accepted a bid to appear on See It Now in his own defense on April 6, Murrow devoted most of his show to a film report of the appearance of Annie Lee Moss before the McCarthy committee. It was nearly as devastating an indictment as the previous show, especially since it pictured McCarthy decamping from an unfavorable situation and leaving his harried counsel, Roy Cohn, to deal ineptly with the aroused Democratic members of the committee, who clearly felt that the accused witness was getting a raw deal...
This week Walsh continued the fray with a lengthy speech at a Santa Fe meeting of the Adjutants General Association, a National Guard ally. Cried he: "I predict we will experience some distinctly unpleasant times in the not too distant future ... It behooves us to keep our powder dry." Hannah was on hand too, but was clearly in enemy territory.

Maybe he wants to run for governor") and darkly warned that the airport was being mismanaged. In Manhattan, columnists leaped into the. fray...
Porfirio Rubirosa has held his job at the Dominican Republic's Paris embassy long enough to fray many a pair of striped pants, and the job has been good to him. In a typical workday (lately as minister counselor), he might play polo at Deauville, or catch the races at Auteuil. Evenings, unless he happened to be spreading joy in Cannes or Monte Carlo, he usually liked to start early at Maxim...
