...only similar undertaking was Lawrence Stallings' The First World War, which ran for seven reels and consumed about all the good photographic material available on World War I. MOT Producer Richard de Rochemont had a first-hand acquaintance with World War II as European manager of MOT - until the German Wehrmacht ran him out of Paris - and as a SHAEF correspondent during the battle for Europe. His associate producer, Arthur Tourtellot, had served his wartime hitch in the Coast Guard. Between them, with the aid of ex-U.S. Marine sergeant and MOT Scriptwriter Fred Feldkamp...
Another announcement was like a bolt striking close at hand, sharply outlining the neighborhood right around home. It came from William Z.

What it all meant was a tougher Soviet policy toward the West. On the other hand, what it really meant was a genuine peace move. The North Atlantic pact was a factor. The airlift was a factor. Even the Anna Louise Strong incident was cited as "fitting into the pattern." The Communist London Daily Worker didn't know any more than the infidel press, so it weaseled...
