Said Jessup: "While I was [in the Far East] I was attacked by two sources-Izvestia and Senator McCarthy. Anyone who believes in the concept of guilt by association might draw some startling conclusions from this fact. However, I do not believe in the concept of guilt by association.

...investigation of the Eder case uncovered more guilt than Abel's and Fran-key's. Their battalion, the 796th Military Police, has 600 men. More than 100 knew about the kidnaping; 20 of them had been approached by those who wanted Eder kidnaped. None reported the proposition or the kidnaping to U.S. authorities.

And if I were to stop and plead fatigue, or poor memory, or ask to rest-the wall again, and the slaps, and the blows in the nape...
Every writer's urge, he holds, is sprung by some jolt at weaning time; the adult writer's flow of words is a psychological substitute for the flow of milk he wanted and did not get, plus a recompense for all the guilt he has subconsciously felt since his diaper days. Once the analyst has worked the anxious writer back to the point where he can endorse mother's product without fear, shame or remorse, it's simply a matter of putting a fresh sheet of paper into the machine and hitting the keys...
