...treatment. At a secret trial at the end of 1950 he confessed: "I said that I hated the workers. I admitted I was a willing tool of the Western imperialists and capitalists. I recited fully the lesson I had spent a year and a half learning." What made tough, hawk-nosed Ignotus accept his lesson? Says he: "Koestler is right. The emphasis is put on the psychological part of the treatment, the dogged, merciless, relentless job of indoctrination. But the torture-maybe Koestler underestimated that. The torture is horror...
...Intelligent Conservatism." Bald, hawk-faced Jack Knight, 62, is one of the most influential publishers in the U.S. A shrewd, cost-conscious businessman, he has long articulated a middle-of-the-road political philosophy which mirrors a broad cross section of business thinking; he calls it "intelligent conservatism."

Slightly alarmed at the Moore deluge, business-wise Wallace warned: "It is unspeakably contrary to procedure to accept counsel-even needed counsel-without a firm prior agreement of conditions (and, indeed, to follow the letter of things, without a Purchase Notice in quadruplicate and three Competitive Bids). But then, seldom has the auto business...
...suffered an emotional collapse five years ago which almost ended his career before it began. Unlikely as it may look from the bleachers, Piersall suffered from what has been called the Laius complex.* Piersall's father (Karl Malden), according to the script, was a wild ball hawk whose wings were clipped by family responsibilities, and who determined to live out his own lost life in the person of his son (Anthony Perkins). In psychological effect, the father murdered the son, and reanimated the boy's body with his own soul, in particular with his own pathological appetite...
