On one trip to Atlantic City in 1954, Kuykendall recalled that he "saved the Government money" by accepting a ride in a "little plane that had only one engine."

...Gentleman." Professor Lerner has never confined his lectures to the classroom. At frequent dinner parties ("Max's seminars"), he probes and harries top Indian leaders like a one-man Meet the Press. In his seven months in New Delhi he has also reported India's (and Asia's) slow awakening to the meaning of Red China. "For the first time," he wrote in one column, "they are coming to understand that the true imperialists may actually be Asians...
