...Assassins. Like his predecessors, President Eisenhower has been irritated by the surveillance of the Secret Service, until recently, when he read The Assassins, a chilling account of the seven attempts on the lives of Presidents, by the New York Herald Tribune's White House Reporter Robert J.

Last week in France, Communist-led mechanical unions shut down 140 of France's 160 dailies (and the Paris edition of the Herald Tribune) for 24 hours. The strike was called to protest a bill, passed last week by the French National Assembly, eliminating closed-shop privileges that have enabled Reds to dominate French trade unions...
