...where, with a beaming smile and a warm handclasp, he welcomed Secretary of State Dean Acheson back from the fruitful Western powers' conference in London. "I want to congratulate you," the President told Acheson. "I think it was the most successful international conference since Potsdam." The congratulations were heartfelt, but the compliment was questionable : it was at Potsdam, Mr. Truman's only meeting with Stalin, that free elections were promised to Poland, and Germany was pledged to joint occupation by the four friendly victors...
City of Flowers. Irish Catholic Sean O'Faolain (Come Back to Erin, King of the Beggars) is the latest in a long line of Northerners to make such an attempt. A Slimmer in Italy is not only an excellent, heartfelt guide to most of the principal cities of the peninsula, it is also admirably designed to salve the blows of disillusionment that many a pilgrim to Italy this Holy Year is sure to suffer.

The Trib also smugly reminded readers that Colonel McCormick was already building a bombshelter for himself and his staffers. The New York Daily News wrote the day's most heartfelt headline, a prayerful play on words: U.S. HAS SUPREMACY, WILL HOLD IT : AMEN. The Communist Worker combined propaganda, craftsmanship and a sly smile: TRUMAN: U.S.S.R. HAS IT; VISHINSKY...

I submit that he is often considerably more, and with this I pass into silence, pausing only to express the heartfelt hope that persons of excessive gravity will not read this book. If they do, they will put it to death, and it will go out of print as fast, and with as little reason, as did the works from which it has been culled...
